Do not feed the Trolls


( a poem written after  an encounter with an internet troll)

They simply do not give a damn

especially when on social media

where everything makes them angry

but without the gift of articulation

every time they open their gob

release a torrent of abuse and profanity

do not try not to feed them

or massage their twisted egos

they will just carry on mocking

poking aggressively with idiocy

spreading messages of hate and prejudice

poisonous voices of this new world disorder

who will try to destroy your compassion

your sensitivity and reason 

leave them alone they have no allure

let them to continue making fools of themselves

am sure one day soon they'll get their due.

  1. Hi Anonymous think I will not be looking at your blog. What a huge stereotype and over generalisation and strange response to a poem, you could equally apply this .A rather offensive one I must add, you must have had aa rather bitter experience.All women are the same, wherever they hail from, good and bad. I guess ' American women' best avoid you like a plague. From birth many face misogony and from then on the daily humiliation and the indignity of sexism and patriarchy,even today in the 21st century. Please don't reply you've had your say.
