The listener kind
Ones that stay quiet
Hold a finger to their lips
And only listen
But how do they understand?
These angels-so quiet
They only hear what is said
Never what is thought
Two very different things
Point of view's best advantage
To edit what they think
And speak it so they may
Persuade one another
Ask why the truth is never spoken
Take a second look then
We only need backup
The truth matters not
It's who can stab
Before they are hit
The winning game, life is
Only when you win shall you be happy
The listener type-not important
Unless truth can be heard
Which normally is not
Gossip is which I speak of
Never subtle and always there
Don't speak
Unless you hold the knowledge of the truth
With your listening ears.
