Victims of the Unknowing

True judgment, the seed of disagreement, Can never exist without true knowing. Prognosticators spread in allegement, Sages sternly warn of evil sowing. Who can say what happens behind closed doors, Shrouds of unknowing, known only by one. Everyone else can create all horrors, Only assuming what was truly done. Such ignorance leads to adverse actions, Advancing accused perpetrator's doom. Separating others into factions, Sealing the stone of the victim's dark tomb. Before voicing any future hearsay, Simply let your hidden thoughts fade away.

Sadly, this is so true, and so prevalent in today's world ... and every time a story is shared, it is altered and twisted even more. What to believe, but what we know to be true? Great write, Michael!

Thank you Gregory. Heresay is hurtful. It only takes one twist from the truth to begin the wringing of the towel, dripping the blood of the victim
