Mis-Understandings

The speaker, speaks, with the knowledge of wisdom,

we all hear what he has to say,

what we hear and what we know,

Will never have a say.

We take it all in, we hear all the way through,

whilst thinking the opposite,

and agreeing. on the face of it,

So that we may never have to argue.

For fear of mis - understanding,

is fear of life,

fear to think for ourselves,

Fear of strife.

We try to claim total understanding,

and fear to speak up,

as others may ban understood,

That, that is a mystery to us.

We nod our heads in agreement,

agreeing with all that is said,

how often then can we truly understand,

The mis – understood..

The loss of understanding comes gradually,

with the passing at each day,

a little less is clear,

A little more farther away.

The liar tries to cover his fears,

the brave man his lies,

what then can be done,

For the one no one hears.
