Those that can, in fact are not interested in trying to reach those that preach, because those that preach cannot reach the minds of the doers or the can do's. Quite a thought provoker. Hugs and Blessings.

A poem that is certain in its brief announcement. Well written.

Hello Gershon, Well it packs a punch! It's simple—two lines—yet full of meaning. "Don't bother to reach" implies action, a stark contrast to the emptiness of "preach." It makes you think about true leadership! - Blessings, Daniel

It is the absurd screaming that gets me. The ones who won’t hear thus they block the words with incessant snears, curses, and all…letting hell loose thus proving their enemy right (often). Hugs ~ Kim (Your poems are thought-provoking)

those who can ... do....those that can't...should pay attention...perhaps the preacher is a can't do teacher

These days, those who can are routed by those who should never have been enabled. ~ Just sayin'
