WORDS

Words are just words unless

There is meaning attached to

Them. I hear pleading and when

Met, the words are as silent as

The action is still. They were a tool

And those who took pity were fools.

The learn the difficult way while the

One who fooled goes to the high

Ground and sings a song of victory.

There is always a day of reckoning,

And we are apt to hear the words

All over again, because lessons are

Not learned easily. The pleading

Falls on ears which do not wish to

Hear, because they are listening for

Something new and do not have

Time to waste on those who cry,

“wolf” too often.
