Hobnobbing Minions

How many minions, I wonder, are out there? I read the signs and their narcissistic prayer. Some feel righteous and hallowed indeed. Preaching their hapless sanctimonious creed. Ecstatic euphoria, stripped from backs of others. Would you act this way in front of your mothers? Shame on you! People are suffering and dying. Your petulant demeanor is crass and mystifying. More good poets are leaving because of you swots. They're isolated indoors, stomachs tied in knots. Emerging to read your vile comments and mobbing. Your arrogance is fielded. Minions stop hobnobbing.

Congratulation Mark on POTD...I thought more poets would have been writing even more during this time... but not so...We need to up the game... invent some incentives...otherwise everybody will remain living in their own dream...

Thanks Arturo, I know for me I've been out of my routine. Normally I spend every week traveling and staying in hotels so I write more. Being home everyday I don't write as much. I have a long honey do list.

Mark, congratulations on your deserving POTD. Is this still going on? I thought it had come to a stop. Oh,why can these sort just keep their mean spirited opinions to themselves_Constance

Thank you and yes it is still going on. It's sad that people are so mean and heartless, especially in a time like this. It's important that when we see the mean comments that we immediately take screen shots and send them to admin.

Only in the light can we see what is truly dark. IMO change cannot be made until the "minions" are exposed. They don't like light but bred in darkness. Congratulations on another POTD.
