its about people and how they lack and/or have excess of emotions. the weeds represent those emotions.
Weeds
Weeds cloud your mind
They make you blind
You think you are confided
Take a look behind
I should not have to remind
Take a breath, unwind
It’s your greed
Do you know when to heed
Take a look, slow your speed
But continue to proceed
Don’t completely heed
You still have to lead
First clear your mind of weeds
Fear is a virtue
Guard it well
It will protect you from the swell
But don’t become a shell
Go ahead rebel
But don’t fall under the spell
Don’t fear the thought of the fear
Free yourself of the weeds
Pain is a necessity
Don’t look for infliction
Can’t become an addiction
Don’t search for friction
Make a prediction
Not a conviction
And it will empty our mind of weeds
Could you read my poem??/?
Wow! You Should Get That Published! I love the part were you talk about fear very very very moving!

Reply:I like it
Reply:This is called "verse", not poetry -- I don't want to discourage you, but it is really atrocious - sorry
Reply:I read right through your poem
Then read a second time
the contents of your poem
and your corny use of rhyme'
I feel I've met my Nemesis
because I tell you mate
its cornier than some of mine
And mine's illiterate.
There is an art to rhyming.
an art that I confess
that despite really trying
My Rhyming is a mess.
And so now my dear colleague
I fear you must not dismiss
abandoning meaningful poetry
And like me take the piss.
Reply:Lame-o rhyming scheme.
