From One Mother To Another

You’ve learned to speak in sound bytes
The media loves those
Well, congratulations
That’s what you wanted
Self-justification
Makes you feel good, doesn’t it ?
Your 15 minutes of fame
Tell yourself you did all you could
Smile pretty when you tell the story
I won’t pretend I’ve walked your path
And you haven’t walked mine
Tell me just one thing, though
I ask you, as one mother to another
Have you ever sat
With your mouth closed
And your heart open
And listened?
