Finish the
story begins with: “I see absolutely everything.”
THE
GLUE
I see absolutely everything
but wish I didn’t
It is so stressful being
omnipotent
Well that’s what my family
say
‘Cos I know what they do
every day
They think they can keep
secrets from me
Spreading their gossip like
branches of a tree
Why they have to be so nasty
Words uttered so hastily
More to the case a terse text
An answer pinged back all
vexed
No time taken to digest and
think
In a matter of an eye’s blink
From bad to worse
With words that curse
Riled up they come to me
Knowing that I see
Absolutely everything
And can swing
The vote either way
I won’t portray
An image of decay
Not tomorrow or yesterday
My time is limited
I’ll nip it in the bud
Then what will they do
Because I am the glue
Binding this family together
For now and forever.
