Analysis of Action or Words
Action or Words
A word is just a word with no action behind it.
Say this, say that, all these fake promises.
Speak bold and loud with these fake accomplishments.
Pass time with lies, unfortunately your out of it.
I here this and that flowing down the drain and swallowing it.
Think before you speak before you set a bad taste.
Mean what you say, if that's the case.
In due time the hope becomes a disgrace.
