Nasty

When are we going to learn We need to shut our trap What is it with you Your snide tone Your petty remarks Everything we say is ignored Censured or corrected Cause everything we say is wrong And you think you're entitled What the hell We wish we could spit it out And tell you off Just cut you off As if we need you Yet...

This one really hits home. I have met some lie this and for all I know, in another's eyes...I could be like this. Nicely expressed Line

Sometimes this could have been written for me and my granddaughter - but I like to think her sounding off is just a way of growing-up- things said that should not be- well written- so very apt- regards Julie

Seems like a message to someone.. But well said.. There are two sides for any argument.. Right never resides in one.. Have a great day..

Hi Line, If one can’t say things that differ from(one in power or popular) what does that say about free speech? Enjoyed this write immensely. Have a great evening;-) Alexis

Thanks, Alexis. Indeed there is a lot to be said about freedom of speech.
