The Critic

Who are you to celebrate on cutting down somebody's thought's proclaiming to be master of the word, how absurd. You think yourself to be so great, because you tend to concentrate on finding words that only scholars know, how big of you, how great the show. You put your poison quill to work at cutting others to the quick while even a child could touch the heart by using words you wouldn't pick. Who are you? Not Tennyson or Shakespeare, not even a Poe. From what offspring did your conscience grow? To what great end do you aspire that you could quench an-others fire? and sever all that they might think when hell has risen in your ink. It's blasphemous this thing you do putting all their words askew, to call this challenging the art by tearing all they say apart. Me! Well I think that your uncouth, big words do not define the truth. One day my friend you'll meet defeat with just one word, and thats delete.

Additional Notes:
I wrote this because I received a very cutting critic. I think this is a good medium to express what we feel without anger, and directed only to that critic. For most people here I have a warm response.
