Screaming Into the Wind

You simply can't be heard

If you are screaming in the wind.

Your words will only leave your lips

And double back again.

Like casting out your nets

To have them land upon the shore,

Catching only sand and shell;

A fitful futile chore.

Better not to scream at all.

Better to convey

Messages we need to send

In a more subtle way.

We are known by our example;

A fact on which you can depend,

And it's foolish to go screaming

Loud into an angry wind.
