Don’t Kill the Messenger

I’m only passing on thenews.

Thoughts expressed arenot my views so

Any anger that ensues

Should not apply to me.

And though your ire maybe just,

It was not I betrayedyour trust, so

Take a moment to adjust

The wrath of your decree.

 

The winds of fate,

The sea of change,

The confluence ofcircumstances uncontrolled

Are met to dance in

Fits of fruitless fantasy.

Swift purveyor, full ofyouth,

Bold and brash with eyesof ruthless irony,

Speaks only truth with

Ironclad guarantee.

 

And though we may notwant to hear

The missive that iswaiting there,

We need not hide ourhearts in fear

Or dare to kill themessenger.
