The Reticence....

 

It's quite odd how the average man will not commit to run
With any issues challenging his personal smoking gun.
With issues that confound in discomfort’s naked place
Or adopt a stance of reticence when confronted here apace.
Won’t lend a ready helping hand for fear of being held
Accountable for consequence imagined or dispelled,
Distrustful of the outcome in involvement’s disrepair
Would much prefer retreat to accountability there.
A quotient disappointment to the greater human race
Are the spineless who refuse to look directly to my face.

Caste your mind back to the moments you allowed to pass you bye
The oportunities you squandered when you let the moment fly.
When you could have climbed an Everest or heard an Angel sing.
but your blinding lack of confidence, you inhibition's stumbleing......
Saw you groping for the exit when your heart implored for more
And the horror in your reticence impelled you to the door.
