Listen Poem by Liz Connolly

Listen



They tell you what to do
Fine.
Bring you up
Pay your expenses
Don't you have any
Values
Ethics, manners
Right from wrong
Truth from lies
Love from hate
God from satan
Real from fake
But who and why
Did you not hear
When they told you
'Sweetie, dear...
I'll slap you into late last year
So baby, don't you lie'?
