Desputing Fairness

It's your first poem, and you expect to win a contest? Do you have talent and have written your best? I have worked hard at scribbling every line, and accepted with honor the awards given to me in fairness. Don't accuse anyone of being unfair and guilt of favoritism; many good folks are getting hurt... read their work and realize that they have deserved their wins! Envy comes out of an angry heart, so full of evil that it cannot reason; and if a poet doesn't appreciate and discern what good poetry is... who would pick up the torch, be admired by his voracious readers, and be acclaimed as one of the greatest?
