WHAT IS WRITTEN ON THE WALL

WHAT IS WRITTEN ON THE WALL


What’s written on the wall is
For everyone to see.
Some heed it, others ignore
In a light hearted spree..

Some laugh it off with comments
Abusive and furtive,
Rather than face up the words
That are true, assertive.

Truth cannot be subverted
By making fun of it,
Or burying in the sand,
One’s head like the ostrich.

It’s the call of wisdom that
In the end does prevail,
Though the ignorant may choose
To simply cry and wail.
