This Thing You Do

This Thing You Do

you post a poem – when i do
you say you do not
but sadly it is true
evidence is never late
just check out the dates
as a bully,
perhaps,
you need to stop my expression
perhaps in life,
you should learn some lessons
you know the fact,
i have turned my back
and i do not agree
but i am not the children,
i am me
and though they are too young,
to understand
i have already witnesses
your wicked plans
felt the bile,
and cold cold hands
and when those children become older
will you control them,
or just get colder
sitting here with unmade plans
just getting older and older
