THE CRITICS

It is the critic who speaks the loudest

Insinuates many times based only on hearsay

No authenticity is born on their wings

They are ready to fly away from the truth

There are those who sit on the fence

Waiting to feel which way the wind blows

They are in fact, abominable, but

Feel secure in their indecisiveness

Pragmatic to some critics is to be phony

Their alternative utterances have no basis

It is difficult to say you made a mistake

Circumvention of reality can sway opinion

Where can one go to discover truth?

Avoid the repetitions of those in discord

Thinking and logic can be employed

A review of the reliability of previous comments

There is a legitimate time to make claims

Point out the existence of evil and crime

The senselessness of destruction, looting and fire

Watch who is silent, while waiting to blame

Good people stay mute; afraid of reprisal

This should never be the way

Take a stand, be a beacon of light

Insure those who are righteous do not have to pay

Allow the critic to see the truth

This is real life; there is much to lose
