You Don’t

You may think you know the truth
You don’t
So why throw your barbs this way

Why don’t you just speak your mind
You don’t
Need to hide what you want say

I’m tired of playing this silly game
You don’t
Know the story my friend

Stop trying to put the blame on me
You don’t
Have the story, beginning to end.

lol.. Ms Devine... those who protest the loudest that they know the truth are so often the ones who haven't a clue...

Interesting, Poet of the Vine... not my favourite of yours but still cute, and I like the way you worked the "you don't" into the context of each stanza... was nice.

A simple concept and a simple poem but no less a poem... well done.

Nice little poem. I like your style of reminding all of us to think and "know the story" before we open our mouths to throw stones at people.

First of all, I sort of "un-clutter" myself with blamers, as who cares whose fault it was anyway, just fix it right? Great message in this one, and I sure hope it hits its mark as it hit the target

Good one Miss deVine.
