No doubt of his rectitude

Andrew Green Poetry, Word of the Day August 27, 2018 1 Minute

An honest, upright man.

He’d always do what he thought right

Refrain from doing wrong.

No doubt that he was righteous

A stickler for the rules

But compassion for us weaker folk?

Some thought he was cruel.

He’d never ever waver

Or give a guy a break

Some times being perfect

Is hard for folk to take.

  Interesting – no one I know, simply a reaction to the word.

    Yes, but for me, a reality, nice how that can happen, the writer touches someone’s life.
