Word of the day Poem
Levity – Lightness of mind, character, behavior; Lack of appropriate seriousness or earnestness.
There is a levity of mind
that in obscurity does bind
Too light of an approach
Too glib when facing reproach
Too trifling of an attitude
Too little seriousness to exude
In puerile boyishness, trapped.
Full masculinity left untapped.
Content and happy in empty triviality
The lightness and silliness of boyish levity
But there is a call for more
Like the blaring bugle on a distant shore
To embrace earnest sobriety
To confront life with responsible propriety
To leave behind carefree levity
and be full man in bright longevity
So, son, leave behind the foolish notion
Of remaining a boy forever with his foppish commotion
Run along to the man you are
Burgeoning with full masculine repertoire
Leave behind the empty levity of mind
That entraps and darkly does bind
Leave behind the levity of youth
Taking full delight in masculinities truth
Delectation finds the one who does overcome
And embraces the man he is to become.
