Don’t Kill the Messenger

I’m only passing on the news.

Thoughts expressed are not my views so

Any anger that ensues

Should not apply to me.

And though your ire may be just,

It was not I betrayed your trust, so

Take a moment to adjust

The wrath of your decree.

 

The winds of fate,

The sea of change,

The confluence of circumstances uncontrolled

Are met to dance in

Fits of fruitless fantasy.

Swift purveyor, full of youth,

Bold and brash with eyes of ruthless irony,

Speaks only truth with

Ironclad guarantee.

 

And though we may not want to hear

The missive that is waiting there,

We need not hide our hearts in fear

Or dare to kill the messenger.
