(I am critic, hear me roar.)

 I, Critic

Sara L Russell, 17/5/14 00:29am
 
I speak, therefore I damn.
Complacent in my seat of ancient learning,
  I can and will
undo your fragile notions, 
your vapid little dreams;
I'll pierce your ego with a word.
  Your ego is absurd.
 
 
I sleep in blameless peace.
Reclining on my cloud of contemplation, 
  I can and do
lampoon your trite devotions, 
tug on their fraying seams;
I'll take your confidence away
  with everything I say.
 
 
You're weaker than I am,
Regurgitated clichés haunt your writing, 
  you know it's true
You wear the same emotions; 
no common sense redeems
the foolish things you write
 - till I slay them with spite.

Brilliant! It took me an entire essay to say the same thing.

I think that about says it all; rather accurate, if you ask me. Thank you, Sara. Love, peace, and best wishes to you,

Regis
