Mean Words

Insomnia and despair

Make bedfellows

But with no place to lay their head

Mean words, ugly words

Think-you’re-better-than-him-and-her  words

Hang in the air: a black cloud

Mean words shared, spoken, heard

Lead to a ‘herd’ mentality

Independent thinking stops

Creative ideas are muffled

Intelligence diminishes

Enters: small-mindedness
