Hanging around the grapevine
which I don't normally do-
as trouble tends to congregate there
I heard something of such poor
spiritual value.

My toes curled, I cringed
to think of the apparent hollowness
lacking love and compassion
for fellow beings and the false
sense of insight leading straight
into a sole thoughtlessness
of misguidance.

I haven't many pet peeves
however it angers me to see cowardly
hurting of another's defenseless feelings
impostering light in the shadow-
forgetting people are just people after all
flawed and beautiful.

Often times
the flock analogy
rings true, and you won't
catch me impressed with
one's insipid narrow views.

Thank you Mirage! Such a relative and fitting
script.-as to what the poem and my feelings tried to say.

I feel much better not having this one stifled
or tucked away. It was and continues to
be upsetting for me to think about. Cruelness in any form is heart breaking for me- I think having this poem rattle around some- is my way of letting what I've stumbled across at various times and through different experiences- go...

Since Ayelet and I were on the subject of sad poems last week. I thought to bump this one. I can look back now and see this as eye opening, yet still feels upsetting. It was after all an important lesson at the time and therafter.. to remember things or people aren't always what they seem, as was this experience some years ago.

So different from your apparent envisions so far. Has a tint of fury and complaint about the vile dispositions if I'm not wrong..

Yes, thequeen your 'right on' with your insights, that was the concept & theme of the poem.

Courageous. Expressing spirit of defiance against the cruelty you see in others. It deals with a sad issue, but you are strong in this context.

Thanks Ayelet,
It was kind of a feisty phase for me, however was necessary during that time.
