False Promises and Little White Lies

False Promises and Little White Lies

 

Let’s talk about promises

   shall we ..

Those you give and those

   that you take ..

Those we share and those

between us we

somehow, always manage

   to break ..

Let’s talk about promises

and how so

many these days, are nothing

but fake or false

and a tissue, of little white lies

..

        A great write Neville. I knew a man once who on his word alone with no written contract lost over a million dollars sending him into bankruptcy. A man of honor whose word was more valuable to him than his wealth. I see little of these days. it may be more of a black tissue of dark lies. Nicely done

          Thank you my friend, yes .. fortunes are often easier lost than they are made .. kindest of regards, Neville

          Bitter, or merely observation, Neville?

            I suppose one could follow the trail of white tissues and get to know someone, but only their sad side. I like the subtlety of this poem. many meanings hidden i the tissue box. - Phil A.

              Promises are made these days to achieve a desired end. And when that end is attained, somehow the promise never existed, it is an alternate reality we live in. Will we ever be able to trust the word of another again? Quite a chilling write my friend, but a much needed one.

                it certainly feels like that doesn't it Bella .. whatever happened to scruples, morels & dignity eh' ..

                  Gone with the wind my friend

                  People all too often make promises they are unable to keep, unrealistic or just insincere. All to casually used. Good work.

                  • Neville


                    Thanks Dan .. You are spot on sir .. Neville

                    So true in many ways Neville.

                    Andy

                      Thank you Andy .. Neville

                      Let’s talk about it. I felt chagrin in your pen as you offered your view on the current
                      View. I want to jump in and carry w you an unspoken regret. No time frame or words directly aimed , just a melancholy him that surely says and do wants to gather that other Also ? With you? All we nodding together that the way was better and sometimes even tickled honor.

                      • Neville



                        Thanks for stopping by Bobby & good to see you my friend .. Neville

                        Some pieces are created so that some one like me inhale it as oxygen to breath in peace

                        • Neville



                          Glad to be of some service .. and thank you for checking in on me .. Neville
