The Internet Bully

the word of the unwise troll



The cracking cartilage of the poised
Fingertips and palms
A pair of outstretched arms
This tightrope decision
Ready to type
Retaliate
For upon what we read is a painful slate
Of the constructive attempt of clever debate
The willing men express yourself in words
The strength in woman feathered wing
The birds
Here to encourage the fleecy flock of the herds
In pack security, the internet
The castanets staccato clack
Is a call to keyboard when verbal flack
Becomes this thread
To respond to the strings and verbal tripe
Rhetoric: of the mostly anonymous
Cowering
Ugly under bridges
Such fantastic eyes massive
Yet troll like, reflecting
Teeth gritting A keyboard cull
All eyes should be beautiful
And all fingertips fruitful in response
Yet, sadly much more than once
The thread is afire
on scorched CRT, canvas seeds are sown
And through the sensitive user tears have grown
Futile plants of pity
In the form of words
How the mighty troll can crush
With weight alone for exposed skin blushed
Is he, in fear of discovery?
His bridge is crippled in twisted wood
In need of hells waters flood to soak
He has grown wise to acorn oak
to use his words to split the yolk
Of the new born poet
Or child
Yes bully troll wild is he
Words the weapons, shaking his tree
The acorn fell, yet what knowledge suppressed?
What a superior test of patience
For the sensible and the passive!
The outer world and common massive
Do not respond to jaunting jibes
Yet allow compassion for pseudo suicides
Online, understanding for Internet words
As white as lime the lonely lie is hard to keep
Alive.





(inspired by trolling or flaming of which a bare bare minimum occurs especially here (when compared to the actual amount of users of the internet))

not connected by anything on here, just inspired by it. that is all.
