Everytime someone erases
what you've said and puts
words in your mouth instead
a devil gets its wings

Dear JB,
Bravo. Well said!
Due to willful wanting to hear only what I want to I’m afraid I’m guilty of many a winged devil 👿 but new year may yield less devils…maybe…terrific write. H🌷

Methinks whenever you recognize the error of your ways, a devil gets its wings clipped. Or its balls kicked. One or the other. May the New Year bless you with Angels, H!

We really like that twisted ending of a devil getting it's wings. This made us think of all the different this occurs, family and friends, a few coworkers have been found guilty, and politicians are forever changing the words of their constituents. Tight piece dude

Thank you, Mes!
Politicians are the WORST. It's surprising more don't end up in the hospital from all the whiplash that occurs when alternating between their two faces.
Despite this being a digital age, there's still a "paper trail" so to speak leading back to everything one does.

Gaslighting is maddening and an absolute bitch to deal with.
Great read

Thank you for reading, Kitty. Gaslighting, yeah. Even after 30 years, my sister tries to pull that shit on my family. But she's not good at it, and nobody wants anything to do with her now, including her own daughter.

Taking things out of context is frustrating. Especially nowadays, it’s so easy to doctor up anything and everything.
Like these minimalist verses JB. Well done

Thank you, Wally. Maybe the less one says, the less chance it can be bastardized.
