Recent Victims of Amnesia

It is difficult for anyone,
To trust someone who jumps the gun.
Speaks from both sides of their mouth,
And runs.

Accountable for anything,
Has not from this one been shown.
Overblown exaggerations,
From this one is expected and known.

It is difficult for anyone,
To trust someone who jumps the gun.
Speaks from both sides of their mouth,
And runs.

As they rely upon excuses,
To delay what they should have done.
While abusing the common sense of others,
To insist the culprit to be another one.

As if those who stare are unaware,
And have been deaf, blind and dumb.
Or recent victims of amnesia,
Seeking embellishments to be entertained.
