Respect

RESPECT

We’ve had resent here on the soup
Some hate the left and poems of poop
Others think our nation won’t last
That Adolph Hitler is not our past

With clouded judgement they rip apart
When words cause pain it’s never art
With angry posts, quick lines they write
A rhyme from anger can start a fight

Be careful when you post such hate
Rescinding words might not negate
Reactions bring regret and cost
Respect is earned and can be lost

Hi Mark, Kudos to you for writing such a write. I agree, penning words that cause hate is not art at all. Have a great day:-) Alexis

Thanks Art! I think poo poems make everyone smile and laugh. Not everyone admits it though. Good day neighbor.

Hell yeah, nice work Mark, I mean we all like a bit of punch in our poems, but to post blind hatred, in the guise of truth is merely propaganda, and absolute madness, cheers David

oh dear shame this vitriol and attacks on other poets continues, I've personally not seen any recent nasty comments about my poop as I've not been so active on the site recently but rest assured the poop and humour will continue to flow:-) hugs Jan xx

Clouded judgement occurs when the mind is blurred by listening to the wrong news reports. Anyone who would compare Biden to Hitler shows a lack of historical knowledge and an abundance of disrespect. Yet, they respect the past president who desecrated the office of the Presidency and America. Their lack of clear vision, and the way in which they write offensive excuses for poetry is detrimental to this site. Good exposure, Mark.

Thanks Jenna, comparing the us to nazi Germany is just insane!

Well said Mark, it's a poetry site where poets post poetry and support each other, nothing else, if you show others disrespect then expect it back. We all have different opinions on everything and we should all respect that. Hope you're well. Tom

Absolutely, there are so many here who like to leave a snotty comment and try to play the victim. Thanks for your support Tom!
