Odd Odyssey Poet Dec 2021
Interpretation,
is dependent on the
listeners ear to speech.

Ay man, you good?
A man, you good.
Amen, you good.

But if we're not willing,
to listen with a caring ear,
how do we fix this breach?

Leave me, a loan,
Leave me, alone.

Instead,
we stab at hearts,
with words of a spear,
with an annoyance disturbing
the peace.

But I told you yesterday;
and not yes today,
but I sat today,
and not Saturday,

I can choose the day,
and not Tuesday,
and I'm not going on thirsty,
but going on Thursday;

But it's just a day.

And finally,
to one's deep ear,
do you listen well to deep words,
or listeners only after
you've given a speech?

Praying for those,
preying on me,
or do I pray for a sinner,
and for their sin?,

Or prey for a sinner;
for their sin?

Prayer or preyer,
Dedicate or devastate?

Interpretations do depend
in the end
