They Are Mean Poem by Julia Luber

They Are Mean

Rating: 5.0


It was only a valiant peek- into some deep divide.
A shadow of memory remainding amidst the forgetting beside.
Plainly a time out of sequence just to set up what life would play next.
Only a step in on story
To designate what would be best.

It was only a happening that way-
Which nobody could deny.
Because that otherwise nature
Never ever ever asks why.

The time tables through which all this happened
Are now part of the overall view?
And anything bad there to snap in,
They impose upon only you:

So stands a common people
Over all that they have done.
Over all that they've forgotten.
In order to celebrate Fun!

They are very very very mean people, not really evil,
but stylishly mean. This bonds them in quite a sensation
of feeling so Clever and Clean.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is a poem also in my fiction saga, The Afterlach, which is simply a consolidating reflection upon so much mean spiritedness in the characters amidst their adventures and challenges. It is about how 'being mean' can become the spirit of a family and/or even a culture. Perhaps even a behavioral epidemic in some families. 'Just how they have fun.'6

A very insightful poem like most your poems that I have read. An uncaring or superficial society that has no real spiritual basis. Making mean comments about people and things they no nothing about and don't care about. Just being human would sum it up.

Have you ever discovered this trait in anybody you know? Friend or family or acquaintance or even work associate? It's quite surprising even though it is quite common here in America.

This is, indeed, a reflective poem. There are mean, very mean people, i know. But it is a revelation to me that there is a social behavioural pattern of being 'stylishly mean'. Above all, the feeling of being clever and clean. Thanks Julia for this interesting poem.

It's a style of personality here in America, at least amongst people I know to " Be mean" although it is not like they necessarily DO terrible things. They just enjoy " being mean" as a personality thing. You are right having identified that my poems are about " social behavior." Thank you for reading and for reflecting upon what they are about. Your poems are very spiritual and transcendental and I really enjoy reading them.
