Subject: Where is this Poet Hatred Coming From?

Where is all this hatred coming from
that infects the realms of poetry?
I've seen outward lashing and cruel intent
from the same people who call themselves family.

So many places, I've gone to check
only to see goodbyes and eternal damnation.
Is there an enigma on certain poet's names
that it's better they suffer through cremation?

Such animal behaviour I've seen on a far away site.
I took leave for months on end.
I've made a mistake going to the big door
through my modem, there were no friends.

Nowhere to hide, poets scamper about,
what a cruel and twisted game indeed!
I've been fading away and keeping to self
than trying to outlast in the infirmary.

It's astonishing how several people do write,
their souls are sliced open for our eyes.
Daring to peek into their eternal being,
Should I dare show them mine??

Disgust is a word I've seen written many times
and hatred is second runner up.
You can't have pasta every day...
In addition, you can never have a full cup.

My heart has grown calloused watching this
the name calling... on several sites.
I cry a little more every time.
I'm sure someone else feels like this, right?
