Analysis of Commitment
You say I should know better
And send to you a letter
Since we are siblings true.
I do rarely send a word
Or two, but have you not heard
I rarely hear from you!
Communication should not mean
That only words from me are seen.
Don't be a hypocrite.
If you do want to hear from me,
Then write some words that I can see.
To that you should commit!
