Shun me more than once you've done. <br />And criticized me in front of everyone. <br />You are the only one now left stunned. <br />By all of the evilness... <br />With a vindictiveness upon you that comes. <br />And a Sun you chose to ignore, <br />Darkens any light slipping away from your door. <br />Whatever you thought of me as the messenger... <br />Did not block the message. <br />Even though you believed, <br />Not reading it would stop it! <br />I've been assigned to deliver... <br />Any innovation The Divine creates. <br />And misunderstanding that has been your mistake! <br />Not mine.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
