The Sound of Meaning

The sound of Meaning
Wailing emotions
Whimpers with grief
At Logic’s intentions
	
The sound of Purpose
Whistling to dance
Spits in the face
Of theorized Chance

The sound of Judgment
Thunders with treason
Struggles to balance
Logic and Reason

The sound of Fate
Laughs and cries
Gets to decide
Truth from Lies

The sound of Liberty
Throats are sore
Strongly resembles
The sound of War

The sound of War
Snickers at Judgment
For human Logic
Serves punishment

The sound of Logic
Deafening with hate
Easily dispatches of
Purpose and Fate

The sound of Meaning
Wailing emotions
Whimpers with grief
At Logic’s intentions

Congatulations Gael on "The Sound of Meaning" being featured this week. Will mankind ever learn? We hear only what we want. Logic seldom plays a part but Greed and hunger for power overshadow it when it does. God Bless. Vince

Excellent! Love the flow, love the rhythm, love the message, love IT! Lots of thought in this and I love how you ended with the beginning, like it reflects back unto itself and really wraps up the whole piece. Very nice use of phrasing and imagery here, well-deserving of being featured this week. Love, Amy

This is wonderful, each stanza so short and to the point. Sometimes the fewer the words the louder the message. Laurie
