Judgmental Free

Judgmental people and haters
 rise on the internet like mashed masked potatoes,
complaining and cajoling point of words and rhetoric
 while lying low in their own hidden shtick.

The voices, text trembles, lost in malignant words
 with anger, hate, scorn, disapproving chords,
become acceptable display of thought on speech set free
 exempt for theirs and similar company.

Politically incorrect thought exuding malaise
 of who can speak or write in poeticly accepted phrase,
freedom and equality lag far behind and suffer
 when folks fail to use their mind and not their tongue as buffer.

Don'y judge me harshly
 the words I may express less smartly,
are in my heart and on my mind
 with rapture and obsession to be kind.

THANK YOU MY FRIEND. Congratulations on you win in Brenda's contest. Hating on the internet is easy, just type out a few words and send. Then sit back to watch the harm it does. Yet, if wise most will see that ignoring the hater and keep on writing is the best path.
