Speak the Action Not the Words

Actions may speak louder than words 
but an action missed didn’t occur, 
if from start to finish 
it was never witnessed 
evidence is of the thinnest 
it’s you that did begin this
it’s just your word 
you making sound 
when you’re heard 
no truth is found 
nothing was noticed 
until they noticed you 
when you’re in focus 
saying words untrue 
you began this 
when you accused 
a disadvantage 
you will lose 
what they did 
they wouldn’t do 
you sound stupid 
no one’s amused 
so the interaction
their harmful action 
doesn’t factor 
or even matter 
you’re the trouble 
that their aware of 
the more you struggle 
the more you’re sweared off 
you are the victim 
shouting abuse 
you are inflicting 
bad attitude 
words are spoken 
truth sees a twist
the can is opened 
respond with a fist
