Mere Words

They are mere words for fun On social and virtual media We read, think and write regalia Lots of verbose verses under the sun To connect corners of the globe They are ordinary words to dare And a prompt appear on air You can agree and he can disagree For no right and no wrong tree Will be planted for no cause They are simple words not fight Words that are said under light Depicting flow that cannot bite No deny you and I feel tight From afar we nigh though far They are ideas to break the ice No fight among us, though tense One goes, one comes and one hears We started too many now we are two And life feels an amusing mess So open words work in public For mouths are to speak As ears are to hear quick But no deaf and no dumb As social concord fosters numb Because there was a theme That did not seem a beam To light mean fire among friends Words were not swords In harmony, we argued words Poem by Mugisho N Theophile

Nice poem but there are no mere words as Jesus Christ the Lord has said, being the Word of God. Amen, take care.

Dear Ronald, hello! You are perfectly right and I know that. However, there was a good reason why this poem was penned. It came after having experienced something connected to it, which pushed me to write it. I like your comment though and that would be another context. Thank you and keep in touch, brother.

I don't do social media as my friend's daughter attempted suicide as a result of on line bullying - it is not 'mere words' if what people are saying about you is not true... so whilst social media can be fun it also has a darker side:-( hugs jan xx

Thank you for comment Jan. I am sorry to hear what has happened to your friend's daughter. There is a lot that happens on social media, and it goes from mere words to bullying as you have mentioned. Sometimes it goes beyond. I am penning another poem to complete this one, and I think I will include that point in it. Keep connected!
