SLY-BOOTS

Describing truth as anger
In an attempt to impress
Still leaves you frustrated,
With what you cannot confess.
For while you are dodging
Arrows from your own bow,
You are exposing yourself,
To what you don’t know.
It is much better to fail,
And admit it to be so,
Than to rattle the pail,
Wherever you go…
For few will believe you,
When you really don’t know.
