Mistakes Made



What really are mistakes claimed to make?
Besides alibis and excuses made.
Getting to create better everyday.
Some heard are so ridiculous,
Leaving those who disbelieve them...
Remembering the lies told and meant to use.
To excuse the children who do it.
But the adults unknowing,
A lie to tell.
Then dismiss the truth to be as is.
When nowhere near them,
Is innocence that appears.
Proves these days,
That many are not listening to pay attention...
To what to them is being said.
Yet can tell anyone,
Two or three weeks later...
What the liar wore.
Their height and color of shoes,
Eyes and hair.
Doing this with an image given.
That compares to a fictioned hero!
