There Is Always One

most are unusual some mundane ~ one logs in mostly to complain 

most are encompassing some refrain ~ one writes rebukes sounding insane 

most are sophisticated some quite plain ~ one adds nothing just distain 

most are original some entertain ~ one seeds hatred, sounds in pain

most are orthodox some arcane ~ one solipsist rules their lone domain

most like contests some avoid fame ~ one says they’re meaninglessly inane

most are devout some go against the grain ~ one or two faves, all a game

Heya Jennifer, I was having some fun thinking about all the diverse poets on the soup, but one in particular seems to blame all the worlds problems on the rest of us, then lionise themselves as the saviour of mankind, cheers David

I’m lovin your dig, David. It’s so very true, but can’t find it in my heart to pity the one who cries “boo hoo. “

Sometimes Jenna it’s very difficult to pity the one who has a mouth like a crocodile, along with the tears to match, and only appears to care for the self, cheers David

Heya Debra, the soup tends to go off from time to time, sometimes it needs a little flavouring and a good stir, thank you so much for kind comments, cheers David
