Why I Don'T Like Slam

Excuse me please, pardon me, thank you ma’am.
Hold the door, turn the cheek, that’s who I am.
Facetiousness, so sad,
By any name is bad.
Hateful pretense is why I’m against slam.

A poet after my own heart, Charles! Like I said, I'm sure Slam wasn't meant to insult others. There're so many issues to talk about so why slam other poets. I don't like what PS is becoming and something's wrong when you take joy in insulting others. Could be the one who's doing the slamming doesn't like his/her self? Congratulations on your win. Peace, love, audrey
