There Is a Change In the Air

Something foul is in the air, 
The stench is so bad, that nothing else can compare.
The thing calls itself a poet, but that is only his personal assessment,
He has to comment on his own poetry, oh what a testament.

He is ruining something I once held dear,
His intentions are hostile, he has made quite clear.
I have commented quite clearly to the soup about this jerk,
But times are a changing and apparently they like his work.

I try to share a Christian view, 
But to reach this guy I have not a clue.
I don’t know what has stirred his anger so?
But he is killing the Soup and this I know.

He flatters no one with the comments he makes,
He reminds me of a person who never gives but only takes.
I really feel sorry for people like you,
And I am sure everyone here would be your friend if you would act nice and ask them too!

I pray God releases your bitterness that consumes your thoughts,
And replaces it with a loving spirit, one that is caring and not distraught.
And let joy fill your life from this day forth and evermore,
And let your words speak blessings and find the love God has in store.

You know Ron there are some people that likes to keep mess going. When I was on poets.com I would get negative feedback on my work and when I would click on the person to respond to their work there would be nothing there. We must continue to pray and don't allow the enemy to destroy the family. I feel like you all are a part of me and when one hurts we all hurt. Great write.

thanks for your kind comments on my poem light at the end of the tunnel, yes i told my son about elijah also ,when he was been jeered God sent some wolves to sort the bullies out and he will sort things out for james also, things are in place at school so 2 boys wont be able to pick on him anymore, all I have to do now is build enough confidence in him to go back to school, he has been having panic attacks and going into hyper ventilation through anxiety but God will work it out, God bless you

I do not know who you are describing here and don't understand why people get pleasure out of being mean. My prayers that the bitterness will stop. My Soup family is important to me. I don't want to see anyone hurt. Your last stanza speaks of your ability to rise above it all. Blessings to you. Karen
