to my friends my fellow poets (and those who misunderstand them)

Respect to my friends my fellow poets (and those who misunderstand them) For those who do not know of what they speak To criticize has a chilling effect Ignorance burns smoky its light is weak It smudges pollutes makes horizons bleak Yet the wise offer due human respect Even to those who seem unworthy of This gift of their faith in the power of love The sign by which to detect the elect You do not like our poetry? Agree To disagree and let us all be free We will embrace even as you reject You mock us loudly? We smile silently Avenged living well forgetting the rest Because we laugh last: we always laugh best Respect and solidarity, +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMVI

there's a saying that comes to mind:
"those who can, do. those who can't, criticize."
