MURDERERS ENCOUNTERS

1.
Like a weaving cobweb
The mind is always under construction
Every encounter reforms it to fit a growth
…or an ungrowth
Every lived encounter murders
Making people we meet murderers;
… good or bad murderers

2.
There are good murderers
Who can kill ignorance to birth knowledge
There are revered murderers
Who can kill doubts to birth loyalty
There are great murderers
Who can kill hatred to birth love
There are superb murderers
Who can kill war to birth peace
There are cool murderers
Who can kill chaos to birth peace
There are benevolent murderers
Who can kill poverty to birth wealth
There are realistic murderers
Who can kill low self esteem to build its high
These are murderers who water progress
…to mature into success

3
And there are the bad murderers
They kill loyalty with lies
Kill knowledge with ignorance
Kill love with hatred
Kill  peace with chaos
Kill wealth to birth poverty
They kill
They can kill
They will kill even with their eyes
They:
Kill self esteem to birth low self esteem
Kill trust with deceptions
Kill safety with abuse and danger
Kill serenity with horrors
Kill friendships with enmity
Kill progress in coveteousness
They are the green snakes in this brocoli-like-grass of life

4.
So weave your mind
With positive ties that bind
Not negative nonsense that will leave you behind
Try your hardest to the best weavers find
So you can grow like healthy plants
And not be faced with stunts
Which will push a grind
And destroy your mind
