Sorry

The article was written
All the critics had chimed in
Not what they had expected
Each one having their own spin

Words taken out of context
Knowing not what they had meant
Accusations unfounded
Hurting wasn't his intent

Apologies to all
Harm wasn't meant
His heart it is breaking
To all he repents

G'day Tim... A simple apology written well. If it isn't accepted, it is not your problem or reason to feel guilt any more. A poem for many of us who have had a slip of the tongue. Well done Tim - Lindsay

i just read an article about people who said or tweeted something stupid and how that comment ended up costing them their jobs, friendships, etc. it's too bad that in these days of the web, a simple sorry no longer cuts it and so many people end up getting involved. your poem expresses this very well...

A simple sorry can go a long way. But some people are so hard hearted, they won't take any sorries. All we have to do is say the word, no matter how it is received. #7
