Growing Steem ~ A serious video for today

in #dtube5 years ago (edited)



The poem below is dedicated to two people that took the high road, when many would not have, given the situation they found themselves in.



Minnows of the Sea


Fury moved through the Ocean,
Might right behind.
Logic spoke to Reason,
Rage was held in check.

Freedom reminded,
Virtue stood up.
Values reached the peak.
Rave soared higher than ever before.

Bring more they say,
Make this place great!
We have the people!
We have the dream!

Petty giggled, flagging.
Ignorance judging without a glance.
Fuming stood up straight, thinking they won.
Doubt rolled their eyes at them.

Greed sighed, once again,
Watching the play,
Knowing a change was lost
Again that day.

The Gods looked down,
Watching the play,
Waiting for the fall.
Feeding it all.

Dignity rose, head held high,
Answering questions left and right.
Respect watched,
Boosting her up.

Faith, in goodness, winning the day.

AHHHHHH! That poem is so kickass, Snook. It's got power, and the personas you created with words are so real. I also love how you took something that gave you feels and channeled it into a video with a solid message, and this gem of a poem.

Fury moved through the Ocean,

A couple of my favourite bits. Keep being you, my friend. Much love. 💞

Thank you for being You as well. I think we are stuck just the way we are LOLL

Love and many HUGS!!!!

Tears in my eyes. Truly.

It reminds me of a situation that happened recently. Some people are just really angry and aren't happy until they can find Good and squeeze the life out of it.

I don't understand, and quite frankly - I'm glad I don't understand. I hope I never understand.

But... as an encouragement to others, (anyone who reads this comment) when faced with anger or aggression - a gentle answer turns away wrath.

choose grace
choose joy
choose dignity
choose respect

I love you Snook. It wasn't a shit post. It was a gift of love and I am overwhelmed by the generosity of both people who poured love out to me and my Monkees <3

Thank you, my friend

(and I know you'll hate that I boosted this hehehe cuz you would rather I spend my hard-earned steem elsewhere!!! LOL But.... that's the beauty of the blockchain! I can spend it boosting something I believe in! and I don't have a big enough upvote (YET) to attempt to show my support for you. so - right now - I need to purchase it! So, I will :) Hooray for the ability to do that! I think its a great thing, and I'm happy that we have the option!)

I don't understand, and quite frankly - I'm glad I don't understand. I hope I never understand.

very true!! I don't understand either.

Love you and your heart!!

Great post @snook. Sorry to hear about this Flagging and calling your fundraiser post a shit post.

Just ridicolous

Well done, Snook!

Thank you Sir!! hugs

Thank you good Sir!!!

Well, I was going to flag myself for making more than $0.0005 but now that I think about it, I should read what I wrote first, huh? 😜

Kidding aside hon, this is a lovely poem that took inspiration from petty ugliness and turned it into a positive message. Those that choose to flag indiscriminately are just proving that they don't care. They don't care to take a few moments to understand the content or they don't care what their actions will be seen as when viewed from someone outside Steemit. Maybe that will change. I hope that it does. I think there will always be a few people that will choose to use their actions to bring down others in what they think is 'justice' or they say is 'fighting abuse'.

But, and this is the great thing, they're outnumbered. People who truly care will keep trying and keep on with their projects, sharing, and attempts to make Steemit a place of creativity, hope, education, support and fun. (People like you, love. 🤗)

you are so right in what you say........

I don't understand it but people are people and they will be who they are in the end.

I would accept you being able to do other things, but writing a poem, my goodness I didn't expect it. This is really awesome, expresses so many things on the blockchain. Go @snook I would say I'm even prouder

Thank you so so very much!!! your words bring joy to my heart!!

Brilliant creation of the functioning brain. I appreciate your poetess heart and imaginative mind.
Putting your word for poetry is admirable.
Much impressed me your this line - Faith, in goodness, winning the day.
Thank you @snook

Thank you so much for stopping to read and your wonderful comment!!

you voiced our opinions, thanks dear. stay blessed

Thank you!!

Agreed. There's so much work to be done building this platform... kneejerk and uninformed reactions are not gonna be constructive nor will they cast our community in a favorable light. Nicely put @snook. I'm with you! Giving it everything I have. And I like the poem too :)

Thank you so much for stopping to read and watch!!
your comment means a lot!!
