Quatrain of Poor Listening

Poor Listening - be careful what
you hear

If you take language and pretend
it is alive and ever so
animated, you can
be offended
easily.

Language is merely an expression
with many meanings,
sometimes
expressed
sleazily.

To allow the mind to be corrupted
by what it hears, no matter
the meaning, is to
cave like a
coward,

Never let language overtake your life,
'tis merely a way to communicate,
do not let it help
others become
empowered.
