I am Chris


What speaks louder than words

And is seen rather than heard

Actions

I am a man of action and little of speech

What one may mistake as muteness

I view as communication accuteness

For my message I convey in haste

Because someone's time is a terrible thing in waste 

 

Some may do one thing, yet say another

Such a betrayal they view as sly

This hypocricy, I do mock, you see

Because acts do not so easily lie

This is why I am as I am
