Petty People

Petty people lurking, preying on us all Watching, waiting for someone good to fall Staying out of sight, but never very far Thinking they can influence feelings left ajar Standing tall and strong, never showing fear Maybe the best reply is to grin from ear to ear Petty people lurking, hiding who they really are I won't let them bring me down or leave me with a scar

Good for you, Cheryl. It's amazing how these people suddenly got a voice on the internet, and twitter, etc. It's so sad how much damage can be done. Excellent write. Jim
