You never err on the side of caution, but does anyone care,
for you sit unmoved and resolute and you gesticulate,
and expostulate and wave your hands in the air,
and you have your opinions,
and mine they are as of as much value as yours,
and yet you,
you pretend to listen,
and I listen to you, and I pretend to care,
yet you, you never err on the side of caution,
and I listen, and we talk,
but we go around and around and around,
and never get anywhere,
yet I believe in your right to a freedom of speech,
yet you, you could talk for the world,
and never accomplish anything and never get anywhere,
and I know where I would rather be,
listening and open to anything,
and any ideas that you wish to share,
because people who listen may change the world,
yet you never listen, and you never care,
but I give you the chance,
and I give you the time of day to express your opinions,
but you will never change,
and you will always sit unmoved and resolute,
whilst I am free in my mind I will listen,
and learn more than you will ever wish to,
because education is a wonderful thing,
and talking should never be a one-sided affair.
