Mean Is Meaningless

Mean is meaningless, has not it’s meaning here, I proclaim without which he will die and rot lest it my cruel beast shall tame forked tongue speaks only violence doomed fate by kind word or belief extinguish and stake claim it’s’ silence turning peaceful over new leaf no value rendered is but nil his only power I assign I’ll mount him not from molehill to him mind’s peace do I resign Intention does define one’s deed bearing fruitless vine, Mean does sow may I not gossip, bear this seed bless, in you that, Mean’s seed not grow tolerance of Mean, I refuse wish words reflect my kind intent this world may we all then infuse Same song, sung again, and sent we know not what harm we may cause with cruel intentions’ turn of phrase might words break tender heart because we mend words, yet mend not, our ways

How true your thoughts are, Audra! Mean IS meaningless and we see far too much of it in this world. I hope those who need to hear this message read your insightful poem! Very nice style you have! Love, Carolyn
