People talk behind our backs,
But never to our face.
Is it that they lack the nerve,
Or just their social grace.

BRAVO
I love this write!
I adore the rhyme and picture...but the wisdom is the true jewel here...
Very well done!
And, yes...they lack the social grace indeed!
Blessings! Tammy

Very nicely stated. I love this write. I believe perhaps the answer would be they lack both. Very short and powerful write. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

Well... I'm not a big fan of such short poetry however you pretty much summed up what a backstabber is. And to me they are some of the lowest people alive. I make a point to be honest as possible. And while people may HATE me for being blunt and 100% loyal to certain people and certain beliefs I will never EVER betray what I hold dear. It is not how I was raised nor is it in my nature. Well done... good luck in the contest.
