Honesty; that flaming

convoluted word that

sits uncomfortably next

to white lies, and hides

in half truths and at times,

belies factual evidence.

Honestly, sometimes I

think that honesty

sucks.

He was too big to challenge,

too powerful to accuse.

Everyone uneasy, yet

having too much to lose.

Never was anything so obvious,

so greatly overlooked.

Never was there anyone so

answerable, who should have

been taken to book.

 

All too late the alarm bells rang,

though some, it seems, knew all along,

and yet the most believable were

told their theories were wrong.

 

The impossibility of the situation!

Small voices too meek to protest!

The glamour surrounding the persona,

a wolf in sheep’s clothing was dressed.

 

Over his head hung a question mark,

each to a man, thinking the same,

yet no-one daring to be the whistle-

blower, leaving the perpetrator free

to exploit his game.

 

Common sense said it was happening,

an unease, was felt en masse.

At last the truth will be outed,

a reputation now shattered glass.

Like a suspect without an alibi,

to bail, he could wave goodbye.

Like a thief caught out red handed,

in hot fat he would fry.

Their demons did  ‘em in the end.

All the help in the world failed

to pull them out of the mire.

They were hell bent on destruction.

No common sense could they acquire.

No bragging rights now

No influence or push

No power to the elbow

No adrenaline rush.

What the butler saw,

to the Press he went to sell.

They crossed his palms with gold,

but his life became pure hell.

 

What the butler saw,

he no more lived to tell.

They pensioned him off with haste,

when, from grace, he fell.

His knowledge was vast

but he gave nothing away.

He was cunning and watchful

when selecting his prey.

Sudden anger

An injustice remembered.

Damnation recalled.

The gift of forgiveness

As yet, not installed

Why be anxious and anticipate

Why not just relax and wait

 

The outcome won’t be what you think

So let your mind go on the blink

 

Do not judge or indeed foresee

Just think ‘What will be – will be’

 

You cannot change a forgone conclusion

So just imagine it’s an illusion

 

Most times anxiety is unfounded

So let your feet stay firmly grounded

 

No way  can the past  you change

Or the future re-arrange

 

So just accept what’s going on

This time tomorrow, it will be gone

 

Time doesn’t wait, it never did

So on anxiety…put the lid
