Criticism

Criticism to the simple-minded 
kills companionship
To the shrewd
it is like pain 
to the body
Simply a caution 
as to unfavourable state of things
And that abrupt attention 
is necessary.

Throw your critic ball warily
against the wall of energies 
As the rebound might 
transform your remaining years
The transformation caused by
the time, skill and energy
invested In bringing to life
the imaginary into existence
While the uninformed views 
point out errors
