Tension On Site

Writers are lured or find their way
And when they arrive they write their say
Welcomed aboard their words are shared
On arrival are they, cared or scared

We read in the blogs, about that, about this
Sometimes it's serious, sometimes it's bliss
We are here to write, and share our work
If that doesn't work, our roads have forks

Decide if ye may, if it's here your to be
If you are, it's to be in harmony
If it is not, democracy rules
Don't become one of them, a literary fool

For this is the site that rises above
Indiscretions if any, we are bound to shove
Our writers have been lured, and lured to stay
If this site's not for you, please be on your way

Something to ponder, yes, I agree there are worse things then learning to be VERY careful of the feelings of others. It's a great lesson and I learn how to do it better daily. I try harder daily. And there is ALOT of forgiveness in our friends here on Soup, just really mean sorry and say it and all is forgiven! A nice place the Soup. Congrad's Jamie!

I certainly agree with this message, James. The tensions destroy our creative muses and add sadness to an otherwise uplifting endeavor. Wish the tensions would cease once and for all. Love, Carolyn

Yes, I hear of people leaving, james, and I just don't understand why they don't accept the way everybody is. There is good and bad everywhere. Good message. Luv, Andrea
