He would always say
‘Frankly speaking’
Before he cut a swathe
Before his audience
As though warning was
Its own license
For cruelty
And prejudice
Frankly speaking
He would always laugh
‘Frankly speaking’
Before he cut you down
Like a wilting flower
So ignorant
Of his place and power
And how before him
We would cower
Frankly speaking

Honesty is not a license to hurt.
So true!! Thank you!! 🙂 🙂 On a similar note I had a friend once who used to always say ‘I’m selfish’ as though that then gave her license to be extremely so and ignore the needs of the rest of us, LOL! 🙂
Yep and we have all come across at least one person like that in our journey through life 🙂

I have a ‘friend’ who says “Is that wrong?” ALL the time…usually after just uttering something horribly wrong!
Yes, it’s amazing how people like this think they can just say something g first and obliterate all guilt or responsibility isn’t it.. thanks for commenting!! 🙂 🙂

Exactly!! Thanks!! 🙂 🙂
