The Art of the Troll

Ignoring trolls here on the soup
should have never become the norm
They even spread their hate on blogs
always staying true to this hateful form	

You’ve got to stop and wonder
what fans the trolling flame
Is it their deceitful hate
Or simply seeking others to blame

Maybe some are old and feeble
seeking lost power from their youth
This site provides a dream world
where few will seldom seek the truth

Don’t believe everything you read
you can see each lie if you truly look
The truth will show in their eyes
and how they bait that hook

It is really sad to see how far he has fallen but it is good to see you help defend his targets.

It's very sad to see anyone circling the drain like he is. He even put up a new blog blasting one of the new poets. Admin took it down and he might have also gotten a time out.

Hi, Mark. It seems the twerps are still at it. People need to wise up about the truth telling, and who's not being accurate about what really takes place. You're championing the cause in your usual honorable way. Take care and carry on!

It’s awesome to see you here my friend!! How have you been? There are those here who hate my poems and the message I try to convey. That’s more than ok I’m not one to really care what people think about me anyways. A certain blogger sure does though

A great one Mark, Hmm, I wonder if this has anything to do with a recent blog post ? I agree with your poem and the trolls need to move on, or find something better to do!
