Not Listening Effectively Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Clarification!
I did not accuse you,
Of not listening.
Effectively.

However,
I do question...
You inability to use your ears,
For the purposes of hearing.

You may find that a doing so,
Will open your mind...
To comprehend with an understanding,
That to you which has been said.

But that would take,
A closing of your mouth.
To allow what has been spoken,
A giving of an opportunity to be heard first.

And IF that something said,
You already know?
There is nothing like the proving of it.
With action and not the servicing of lip.
