Terms of Engagement

Rancorous bile spits from the screen like a dragon’s bad breath Venom and distasteful acrimony captures an innocent monitor An irritating display of malicious vitriol exposes malevolence Vindictive malevolence achieves to exhibit a self-righteous tongue My middle finger hovers over the respond key Why on earth would anyone part with such hurtful conviction Forfeit composure and respect for a well-mannered discussion What is wrong with remaining critical but courteous with words Instead of venting frustration with-polished and decorous tact The hand approaches delete but the mind refuses Does such bastardly wrath deserve the privilege of an answer Is the spiteful composer of evil intentions worthy of a reply Can rightful reproach warrant retribution in poignant return What is the point of engaging with a chalice of angry lines Thank you for unrestrained honesty Cantankerous behaviour calls for consequences no doubt at all But my world is too precious for gracing you with disagreement As I reflect on why I should be the target of unmitigated rage I refuse to incorporate exasperation and resentful indignation Block sender and remove contamination 08th February 2020
