Walk a MileA Poem by J.V. StanleyTo those who think they need to take sides, really shouldn't.Walk
a Mile October 21, 2011 Walk
a mile in her shoes, perhaps you know what’s best. To know the difference of mocking, joke, and
jest. To
each their own, they all take sides, though
no team takes the rope, No
one sways no one scurries, no one leads with false hope. And
yet, here we are, playing games, though
no one know the rules. And
eyes sewn shut from all the toil and rough, and lack of gallantry, lack of worth. Blind eye tug of war, where neither side is winning, a
random joke from some odd bloke, causing more damage done in daring. So
here the lies and backward high-fives, and
upside down intentions it may, sound
like foolish caring and so
does swearing and foulness arisen in the game.
For
who does know, does the sun doth show, honesty
wisdom and caring? That
who shall dare, the rope ensnare, and
vile tricks upon my faring. Who
does care that words despair and
hurt-hard not to allow in. For
no one knows that no one knows whose
side they should be on? What’s
funny that, it is just that, that
stupid ignorance may be, just
what they need to do, so we can get through,
without all the vicious marring. Walk
a mile in her shoes, do you know just what you do? You
try not to cry at all the goodbyes because what you fail to see, beyond all that has been deemed there is so much more she is losing.
