Retired Executive's Lingering Hopes

A chapter in the book Heart Cafted Poems - 2020

Will my legacy be undone?

by JLR

Pondering values left for them,
obligations to not condemn
in trusting the words that were wrote.
What said can never be unspoke!

Over years, at my direction
paths taken by my suggestions,
of sane reasoning for greed's poke,
What said can never be unspoke!

Leaders plead at the journey's end
please, repeat what I can amend
those repeated words will not choke
What's said can never be unspoke!

My desire that the best words minced
even when they made someone wince.
were the words honestly spoken,
What's said can never be unspoke!

Reflect, hiding superstition
reclaim hope, with strong conviction!
One led them far as head spokesman
what's said can never be unspoke!
