What to Tell

This was created for a social-media spot, but it seems to deserve sharing here, which has become the poetry empire of YoursTruly.


Now, who's to say that we should tell
What's on our minds, to pull from the well
Of thoughts and share with worlds our ways?
We're humans, and that's just what we do,
Created by God who spoke the phrase,
“Let there be light!” From that it grew
To a land of men who live their days
To ponder what they to others should tell.
For soon they learned to hide from fear
That God and neighbor might come near.
