While I
A bitter truth!"

Is it?
Sometimes we reflect certain ideas we may not reach a consensus on with others. In poetry we are not supposed to buy the idea.But appreciate it if we must we have to do so.
The point is conveying a message in an interesting or creative manner.Poetry is all about bringing something new or giving something already there a fresh touch!

Any ways I have got positive response for this poetry on www.poetfreak.com ,www.hellopoetry.com and www.allpoetry.com
Thank you for the positive feedback.
