Literary Critics Have So Much Fun
Literary Critics Have So Much Fun!
Literary critics have so much fun
telling every writer and poet
how they approve or disapprove
of each writer and poet's works
giving constructive and destructive criticism
to each one
advising them that each one sucks
or is magnificent
either lacking complete talent
as a writer and poet
or being truly talented
as a writer and poet
writing good and bad reviews
sometimes even steering potential readers and buyers of books away because they read this or that literary critics review and took it as an absolute truth instead of buying and reading the book in order to make his or her own mind up about the book
defining what is good and bad literature
expecting everyone else to adhere to their criticism as if it is an absolute truth just because their opinion is a fact to each literary critic
allowing their biases to cloud their judgements on all things literature
benefiting and condemning whomever's careers they want to because this or that work doesn't fit in their perfect biased categorisation
making it seem to be utter nonsense
one must always wonder and ponder on who made them the writer and poet gods and goddesses of their time and especially today?
