Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

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...
We continue to put up with you

Chris Green February 11, 2020 at 7:05 AM 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 Line Gauthier February 11, 2020 at 8:10 AM LOL Thanks, Chris.

Julie Achilles February 11, 2020 at 4:54 AM 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 Line Gauthier February 11, 2020 at 8:12 AM Thank you, Julie. Kids are a thankless crew.

Krish Radhakrishna February 11, 2020 at 12:23 AM Good one Line. “ if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say at all!” Thumper from Bambi. Line Gauthier February 11, 2020 at 8:12 AM I did not know where this quote came from! Thanks for your delightful visit and comment, Krish.

Jenish Somadas February 10, 2020 at 11:42 PM 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.. Line Gauthier February 11, 2020 at 12:16 AM Thanks for your visit and comment, Jenish. You are right of course.

Alexis Y. February 10, 2020 at 11:27 PM 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 Line Gauthier February 11, 2020 at 12:18 AM Thanks, Alexis. Indeed there is a lot to be said about freedom of speech.
