Poems
Oct 2015
THE WORLD AS IT IS
Let them have their say
they haven't spoken enough yet
if their words were added up
that would stretch for ten thousand miles I bet
this is the world as it is
too many want to do the talking
they don't just speak--they yell and shout-
they hear only their voices---listening
is not something they are used to
conversation is a long-lost art
since they know it all
what could the others impart?
and even on their death-beds
a long list they will still make
of the things they didn't have the chance
to say-- talking is too precious to forsake!
