Contemptuous tongue

Contemptuous  tongue

This dialog that we speak
How arrogant 
Contemptuous
Is the looseness of a tongue

 
Our conversations
A binding contract
Embodying every word
But a Contemptuous  tongue
Speaks Without trust
Giving  the foundation
To be ignorant
Promoting
Only their self rightists clause

Words change
When  spoken to gain
Only a dialog written
Are words unchanged

So should we write down every
Conversation  that binds
A protection  against  
 Contemptuous  lies

Or is your tongue loose too ?
By the ignorance in your mind
Not by your words
But believing that
A contemptuous  tongue
Will  never speak with lies

Contempting Tongue

Very good,Press! You see very clearly, that the spoken word can be twisted by the tilt of the head, or the gesture of hands. The spoken word, has little value for some. There are those that will use it's tenuousity to say, that this is not what I meant, if they find it to their advantage. Ah, well, that is the way of the world Press. Not what we would like, but the way it is. You have written a very good poem. I found it really easy to keep up with on all levels. Consistant and even everywhere. Good title too! ~ Gee.

There you go writing great stuff and there's me locked most times in the lonely poem place, your work is many levels up now from a while back only because you believe in your own capabilities, just the one word I had to complain didn't I? (rightists) Did you mean Righteous La La La With all the praise you have now you just have to keep up to that mark and aim higher, Well done there Young Man, Yours Ian.T
