Rant...

Names…


 


No names can I use,


Apparently as it is a “no no”, others it does abuse,


Even though the names were of an abuser,


Better yet to call that person the subsequent loser…


 


So one poem was “censored” off my den,


Though I can now see the reason I do portend,


Will have to still think long and hard prior to taking my leave,


As if to be censored was not enough, I hate to offend,


The other person that did stalk and scare so many,


Using others names for poems this person did write,


I actually felt my treatment of same was more than just right…


 


This person did commit a crime,


Not just in the virtual sense at any time,


This person did not pick on me, fortunately,


For the person would not know wrath till that was done,


No one on the Internet knows what lengths one would go to,


To protect our own reputation, so as not to be outdone…


 


But this person I am over,


Let them bury the person in clover,


If the person is lucky they won’t be dug up by Rover,


Having been deleted themselves from the den, moreover…

Ed,

I read your poem prior to it being censored. It is most unfortunate that on such a wonderful site as AD, there will be some who would use it for ill intent. Thanks for caring enough to speak your mind.

I read your censored poem, Ed. It seems you got tangled in a web that protected the victimizer over the victim.

Well, when we take a stand against
those who cause the problems we
often are caught in the crossfire
of that nasty little word,"censorship".
But at least we know that
our morals can't be censored;
now can they? ;o)

Good poem. D a n a

Hmmm. I apparently was under one of my rocks again and missed all the action. But I do so like this poem, Ed. :-)
