Poetry not Com hackers

why i took a chance and
decided to try the new poetry 
dot com sight started off great
two months ago until i noticed 

a strange mans face with 
my name and poem completely 
beside myself not a racist 
bone in my body being mixed

myself half Italian Native American 
and African American raised by 
Irish aunts why i have given birth 
to a complete rainbow tribe from 

French Spanish Irish Somali 
African Costa Rica Jamaican 
Panamanian British children 
and grandchildren just to be clear 

this was just the description 
of the man next to my poem 
called what we need he was 
bearded not to tidy white 

caucasion nothing to do with 
poetry at all scam i began trying
to remove him but for some reason 
poetry not com desired to allow 

him to stay i am glad i only had 
one poem just to test the waters 
clearly i deleted my account 
with them my name user account 

all deleted i began reading more about 
poetry not com they are a scam unlike 
Howard Ely academy of american poets 
Baltimore in which i posted thousands of  

poems that poetry .com sold 2007 to lulu 
which went bankrupt this new sight has 
absolutely no affiliates with the old poetry.com 
with Howard Ely it was fraud actually asked for 

my credit card information to remove this
guy they obviously added to my poem 
the nerve wow very very eerie at any rate 
stay safe on this web of hackers many blessings 
Happy Easter Everyone.

     
My Poem:
What we need 

what we need 
is unity
in a diverse world
what we need 
is to unite
who we need 
is you and me 
this indeed 
is what we need

Dear Yolanda, what a truly shocking experience for you. Must have been truly awful and like you say very eerie. I’m glad you are away from all that now and it’s so kind of you to make people aware of it and avoid at all costs. I love your unity poem - the world needs so much more of it. More compassion. More acceptance to and for all. Thank you for your profound message. Hugs and blessings, xx
