More Critiqued Than Paid Attention Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Many words are written to be spoken and heard.
But is anybody listening?
Has everyone missed the content of the message.

Picked over are words to select the ones best,
To suggest a message that hopefully reflects...
A seriousness left to digest and respect.
But...
Is anyone listening with intent to comprehend?
Or...
Is the message that is mentioned,
More critiqued than paid attention?

'But what 'is' the message intended for comprehension.'

~Should I interpret what you should digest? ~

'Yes.'

~Then perhaps the message is not the one you should get.~
