          EXPLAIN
     By ... Steve Lucky

Not all things can be explained.
How does one even try?
Sometimes without the proper explanation
Many innocent people will die.
One needs to explain things
In terms others can understand
Entire armies have been defeated
By a misunderstood command.
Clearity is of great importance,
So one should listen well.
With just sketchy, inaccuarate information
From what extremely frightened people tell,
The listener still has to figure out
Exactly what should be done.
Despite the need for better communication,
Listening is needed for everyone.
