Lead Or Desist

I know you both Want and so too should wish To expect a response From all the other people Apart from yourself Even if that response be The merest tiny Subtlest of nods or blink's Hiding behind a smiling blackened eye Because they are simply unable or lack the inner strength or stomach for the fight To stand up or speak for themselves In order so they can show you the pathway But yet then again aren't you just so to the problem as well If you yourself expect others to do Something you have yet yourself Seemed unable to accomplish or do Because that offers others In similar powerless unmanageable situations Surely no solace or form of help In fact makes matters way far worse If other victims don't seem to care neither

Indeed Christopher, giving friendly advice is one thing, but unless you’ve gone the full fourteen rounds, then you cannot know for sure exactly what others are going through, but I think if we can help in some small way by listening, rather than the way others pontificate. that should not make things any worse, cheers David
