More Meaning, Less Losses Poem by John Sensele

More meaningful for your life to thrive
Than for your world to tear to smithereens
When your efforts of all sorts contrive
To install in your crib soporific screens.

More meaningful to strengthen tender ties
Than to nurture blues with no clues
From which quarters your relief sighs
Originate to sedate your cantankerous queues.

More meaningful to endure challenges
Than to cut and run at the first sign of a stern test
Your character undergoes when your hinges
Come unstuck because victory smiles at a competitor you detest.

More meaningful to love with all your heart
Than to offer half a commitment
To play a divisive and elusive part
When your lover in ire cancels your last hopeful appointment.
