What Wasted Words They Proved Themselves to Be

when words fall upon the ears of deaf disciples

All those words you wrote
now thrown away ..
All those words you wrote
but dare not say ..
All those words you wrote
that let you down ..
When you pressed pause,
stop, or delete
instead of pressing play ..
All those words you wrote
borrowed, stole or
plagiarised to try and make
some of them stay ..
What wasted words they
proved to be when
played across the ears
and mouths of 
so very many deaf disciples

What do we write for and who?. What motivates us I wonder but this is your field of expertise. I expect an answer in a follow up poem ok 😆😆😊...great write X
