What Lies Within Poem by Darwin Henry Beuning

What Lies Within

Rating: 5.0


In people - the World Round
You have,
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

But, what is to be feared most,
Is that within each of us,
There is a little MEAN.

When citizens have had enough,
Pushed too far,
The masses rise up.

Then is the time for,
Meanness ALL around.

Hank, you are right. We probably all have a little meanness in us, and sometimes things happen that just brings it out in everybody! But I think Linda Bella is right: there is some good in most people too.

Your poem was pretty fatalistic overall so it caused me sadness of heart. We all have choices to make in life. I believe that kindness and living a life that brings joy to others is to be sought after. We are here to make this world a better place. Evil does not triumph in the end.t

Quite an observation. It is undeniable, though, that some are far more evil and threatening than others. A fine poem.

Michael, Thank you for the comment. I had these thoughts about meanness for quite some time and was finally able to put it into a poem.

Hmmmmmmm.... I have been thinking... I'm not all that good... but I don't consider myself bad... so I must be the UGLY!
