Thirty dayth hath April
May ith thoon upon uth
And where did that month go?
Yes, I know that my use of ‘th’ instead of ‘s’ may not be PC
But, words are only words
Aren’t they?
What I write few read
What I say few hear
And do those few read exactly what I write?
Or hear exactly what I say?
If I wrote and millions read
Or spoke and millions heard
Would I be more careful
And less carefree
In my every written word
Or would I not write at all?
Would I be in fear of my life
At every moment because
I used a word that inflamed an individual’s ire?
Shall I leave that sort of thing to leaders?
Shall I be of the silent majority?
Shall I just be a passive poet
And compare thee to a Summer’s May?

There’s a lot in this one… I, for one, am reflecting. Whether I am reflecting on your exact meaning is one for people cleverer and more philosophically inclined than me!
If you reflect you are more likely to be seen. Thank you for reading, Al. G:)
I think you’ve just said the wisest thing I’ve heard in some time
Really? It was only a comment upon your comment upon my post. How marvellous is that? I thank you. G:)
