Treachery In Poetry


   
            * TREACHERY WARNING *



Why do some use their quill as a poisoned dart?
To think you can destrooy this poet's heart?
Gangs roam here, best not get in their way!
Will do all in their power,to humiliate and
make you pay.

And what of you, good souls, nothing like them?
You will not back a good poet in open post,you let 
them bleed then?

This place, is a mirror of the musical, 
" West Side Story,"
Where getting laughs to crude poetry and arrogance 
And to murder, another poet is their only glory?

Their crude M.O is a knife in your poetic
back.
Because you called their number, and their cry goes 
out, " Attack, attack."

PS reflects the bloody history of all humanity.
Blaming only the past for cruel history?

All the beautiful and kind poetry here?
Cannot erase the treachery,the method of shaming, 
which, be aware, is their gear.

Time to do screenshots, of replies that show they are 
here not to write poetry.
But to shame and defame you, win prizes and to fool 
others, such apparent treachery!

How sad I am to share my heartbreaking story, 
But be very aware, not as was I, with a heart  
now so crimson-goried!
