Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Slam the Bullying Slam the Haters Good Folk Are Leaving

Better to be on the end

Of feckless bullying

Than to give into the virus

Of childish trolling

Because no 1 likes

When a hater triumphs

It's the 8th most deadly sin 

And gives credence to those

No 1 should give a damn about

Because if  they were to be ignored

Would anyone miss them ? 

Would they not crawl back under
the rock they troll from

And god willing paper covers rock

And scissors cut through Bull Ship

Bullying comments

This is for the Members you forced to leave

By those who thrive on stirring mischief

Devoid of empathy 

And human feelings

Jealousy is unbecoming

And is in fact

The greatest form of compliment

Because if you are worthy of trolling

You have obviously hit a nerve

Far more deserving

Than the wrath you may have incurred

And cuts deeper

Than their patent cry for help reply

As sticks and Stone's may break my bones

But your comments do not phase me

They merely raise pose more questions

Than sadly you provide answers

Jan Allison April 4, 2020 at 4:17 PM sadly Teppo has now left the site his poems and his account have now gone, a man of principle a man of honour and integrity who tried to stand up for his friend, such a shame the behaviour has been allowed to continue so long, perhaps this will be a turning point as admin have dealt with a recent issue very promptly :-) hugs jan xx

Christopher Flaherty March 24, 2020 at 8:18 PM What exactly is hating?? Negative comments or real spite ?? I could never see you ever posting anything so where does that come from .?

Jan Allison March 24, 2020 at 7:22 PM Its a very sad day when you see poets like Teppo leaving because he tried to stand up against certain members and let admin know what has been going on for far too long - its been insinuated that I and many of my friends who have now left the site are 'haters' and that I have written hate poetry. I for one will never leave:-) hugs jan xx Christopher Flaherty March 24, 2020 at 8:25 PM I can't quite understand or get what trolling or hating exactly is Jan. I think i know you well enough by now to know you don't or would never post a negative comment so what is this all about ? Is it people are sensitive to criticism or is it genuine spite Christopher Flaherty March 24, 2020 at 8:14 PM I find it very wierd Jan. Are you inside my head Jan ? I wrote this in response to Teppo leaving . I was trying to read through his comments to see what he was taking about but you explained why i couldn't Jan Allison March 24, 2020 at 7:29 PM if you read teppos blog you do not see the full picture as many of the comments are now gone but Teppo is a man of integrity who has seen what has been going on and sat back for years until things got to a head recently with his friend being targeted:-( hugs jan xx
