After a few mixed communications on my phone and in conversation, I was suddenly slapped in the face with the obvious... people read what they want too. Sometimes all good intent is lost on those that don't want to read/hear/see it.


Reading Write



When I say "You",
I may not be exactly talking to you
The person reading this poem

When I say "Here"
I might not be relating to this site
I write with pencil, anywhere

When I say "God"
I might not be talking about yours
It's your right to place your own faith

When I say "I See"
It could be taken as sarcasm, an action
Or a third eye, depending on "You"

As you can hear, here
Or write, right, or won, one
A tone in a spoken word clarifies

In print, it needs to be said
A text can be misread
And that is where the truth lies...lies?

Well Purp...you've finally proved what I always knew, and that

I think this poem of yours is great (and that you can believe)
