Actions Speak Louder Than Words

I won't hit you again
I've heard this before
Your back I'll not stab
An impossible chore

I hear loud and clear
What you have to say
But your words do not fit
With actions that stray

It's like a note from a love
with a kiss at the end
The words and the actions
have a unified send

Yet for you it's reverse
Your words speak to please
Until those in power
get up and leave

Then I'm left alone
with your actions at hand
and the words reminice
from a far distant land

So next time you speak
Please remember these words
That actions should follow
like the flock flying birds
