Does It Matter

Does it matter what you say?
Not really.
Today?
People are seeking,
Immediated gratification.
And if it is stimulating to the eye...
That is all that they desire,
To raise their excitement.
And when you are told to leave.
You have pleased their temptations.
Perhaps then it might matter,
What you say.
To protect your own pride.
And hide the indignity endured.
The length of what is said,
Matters not to someone...
Who has used you,
And bled emotions from your heart and head!
