Straight From the Hip
You've all heard the expression
“He shoots straight from the hip!”
The official dictionary translation...
“To speak directly or frankly”
Actually I would hope this applies to yours truly
No jazzing, no messing around, no hidden agendas
What you see is what you get
There's too much razzmatazz these days
It time to say what you mean and mean what you say
Be responsible for your actions and words
It will lead to a better understanding
Where we're all coming from
The world needs more openness to advance
Into the unknowns of the 21st century
Straight from the hip!
Inspired by my friend Judy Konos
