BLURRED LINES

BLURRED LINES

Do these lines truly exist?

Do we define in black and white?

Crystal clear like muddy waters

Out of view, so out of sight

It’s been questioned and debated

Devastated lives both sides

YES and NO are not related!

So why confusion in the guides?

************************

Did she want it? Was he presuming?

Did he overstep the mark?

Has he played this game so many times?

Another fumble in the park

DEFENSE say she was gagging

Cos her skirt was barely there

Asked him for a cigarette

Shared a cab without a care

PROSECUTION is a tough one!

A short dress does not scream RAPE

“Did you respond when she said NO!” my friend

“Can you repeat that for the tape?”

************************

Blurred mind and thoughts create blurred lines

Or do they, should we know?

Would YOU read all the signals right?

If you saw ‘green to go’!

Did he hear her when she shouted NO?

In the throws of his own lust

Did he STOP when she cried out in fear?

OR hear the sign for one last thrust!

************************

Not all a clear cut ‘story’

When the innocent fall down

Blurred lines create such heartache

Can drive a good man out of town

Innocent ‘til guilty

But the courtroom has adjourned

Tarnished with a label

Before the ‘real’ truth can be learnt

They passed the noose; hung out to dry!

Perhaps he was to blame?

A nasty evil sordid man?

Or misjudged in some wicked game

************************

It’s been questioned and debated

Devastated lives both sides

YES and NO are not related

No more confusion in the guides

Blurred lines should not exist

We should define in black and white

Crystal clear should be the message

BLURRED LINES DON’T MAKE IT RIGHT

Cheers Chris, I really appreciate your kind comments!  I wasn't sure about this one to be honest for the reasons you have said. I'm a strong advocate for saying the way it is and not covering up stuff just for the sake of political politeness.  When things are spoken of and out in the open for me it makes it less harmful and easier to deal with; but in fareness that is my humble opinion and in such a broad spectrum of people not all may want to read this kind of stuff.  The positive comments I have received up to now made me decide not to delete it lol!!  As you know Chris I have written some deep and dark poetry lol, but I would never want to offend:)

Lawyers in the UK are usually known as solicitors Chris lol:)
