Words said in anger....can fall on deaf ears:

And if not,

Can hurt more than you know,

Later,

Regrets hanging out on a line,

Waiting to be forgiven,

Some will be,

Others left blowing in a lonely breeze,

Have to be even more careful,

In a small town like this,

These walls have ears,

The windows have eyes,

Greeted by empty streets when you appear,

Friendly neighbor now your judge,

All his sad secrets,

Safely tucked into his vest,

Heaven forbid should his past be revealed,

Voice now speaking quiet lies,

Raised only in righteous accusation,

Of faults you've never dismissed,

Yet want to hide,

From those with no compassion,

Reveling in your shame,

Having buried their own,

In the backyards of their minds,

Such cruelty,

No other living creature would bestow,

No,

Only humans with their free will gift,

Of thought,

Draped in pathetic robes,

Of hypocritical truths,

Living in their lies,

Sight lost of understanding,

Worshipping the almighty dollar,

Blinded to their eternity,

Morality,

Only a word to be despised,

Lost.

the size of the town doesn't matter much I've found....mean people are all over the place. This is well done.

Just happens, I do live in a small town my friend, you know, where everyone knows everyone, and more concerned with their neighbor's business! Just a little different!
Thanks for the comment. Robert

Sir Robert,
Small town, small church, small company, small circle of friends...yup! As ever, social issues well stated by a man of conscience.
