Insincerity

If you don't mean it, I'd rather you'd not say Anything to me If it's not said sincerely Then let it be. Your body language Say's it all, And your tone of voice is rough. I do not need an apology. Your expression is enough. Please do not say you're sorry In a dismissive haughty way If you don't mean it It is a useless word to say!

Amen, sister! One of the more overused words of this generation. A 'sorry plight.'

You don't know who you can trust these days, Deb. And I don't enjoy these thoughts at all. It's time for a change for the better. Take care, Shirley XX

How many people use their speech to spread evil.
