Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Pointed Fingers

Fingers are wrongly pointed in accusation
Assuming poems are written for intimidation
Voices raised in needless defense cry aloud
As they huddle and mutter among the crowd

Consider how your allegations must sound
As you toss foolish words and slurs all around
Don't defame those whose troubles you don't know
You've no reason to sow weeds where poets grow

John Gondolf November 30, 2017 at 10:25 AM I think that part of the problem today is that, in our digital world, news travels at the speed of light and you never really know what's true and what's not; it's best not to make any comments at all. John Lin Lane November 30, 2017 at 10:37 AM Thank you, John. It's a good idea not to take sides if you don't know the facts...better yet would be staying out of what doesn't concern you.

My hubby as a phrase... to assume is to make as ass of u and me. :-) hugs Jan xx Lin Lane November 29, 2017 at 3:48 PM I love your hubby's take on assumptions. Those who have no clue of what they speak should keep their pens capped. Thanks so much, Jan!
