Scapegoat Mutiny

Scapegoat Mutiny

The perspicuous statements by The Man, meant to flatter,
Were maximally inurbane. In hindsight could only alienate 
The dozens of individuals who now gravitate to retaliate.
    
     The Scapegoat Mutiny must succeed!
     Woe to those who think it transitory,
         bountiful malignant repercussions shall befall them!
     Any actions to dissipate will fail!
    
Those are the claims of the mutineers.
The capricious results will be perceived as beneficial by some 
And detrimental by others.

James, ,Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Now there is one to chew on! Interesting how you conveyed this... as though neutral. I liked how you did that, hovering just outside the edges of your own poem, letting the subjects squabble with themselves as you share what you see... cool approach! Welcome to Soup, James. The site is pretty easy to navigate but it still takes some time to learn the ins and outs. Looking forward to reading more ...
