Commit to Commitment?

Should it be done?

The pictures I have

The videos I take

Nothing's been tampered

Nothing is fake

Would You like to see

What I have in store

How much transparency

Should be brought to the floor?

People can always talk in rhymes in riddles

Innocents, Bystanders, Always caught in the middle

I'm not asking You to pick a side

I'm asking You to listen and read, I have nothing to hide

Your view may be changed

Or it may remain all the same

Your view is Your view

I'm not here to try to stew

Up trouble in Your mental noggin

Making things rockin'

More than I'm trying to make sense

By explaining and providing forms of proof

With hopefully some spare change that I got for common

Cents

Less I digress

I'm not here to cause distress

As much as I'm trying to explain things fully

And not just spread labels such as "Creep," "Harasser," and "Bully."

What I've shown some people already has blown their minds

As I'm not just talking through the grape vine

Or about the fruit that hangs

Nor am I talking about goats

Using them to escape and assign all the blame.

Would You like me to show You what I truly mean?

If I did would You think I was mean?

There's a way to go about things, to handle them with tact and grace.

Yet, as the band plays on it's always the music that we'll have to face.

Not everything that's provided is meant to force one's decision.

I'm here to be honest and forthright, and not cause division.

What if I were to just leave the pictures and videos by themselves, all alone?

Would it still grab Your attention via Your Computer or Phone?

Would You watch? Would You listen? Would it make You care?

Would You think that the truth is self-evident with what's been laid bare?

What do You think? What should I do?

With evidence provided, what do You think would be true?
