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.
