fauxcroft

You hide your eyes 

You shield them from truth,

Fearful we may see all we do

Like act unkindly and act as brutes,

See only greed as appealing to you.

You cover our mouth

To hide your words,

For saying things cruel and that hurt,

Spreading half truths, gossip and hate

This sums up mostly what you say.

You cover your ears,

So you can’t hear the truth,

Of words spoken to you

That explain how vile 

Your words can be,

Because you pay no attention 

To the way that you speak.
