Who Criticizes The Critic ?

never once in my journey through poetry

have I ever bowed the knee to criticize another

if anything I send a message of praise

but critics take it upon themselves

to point out your grammatical errors

as though they are there to help

yet can't even help themselves

perhaps its best if I left that discussion right back on the shelf

　

yet let me tell you your just a jealous little F**k

you see you have to harp on the timid to get your point across

it is no tragic loss if you just leave us all alone

go tell it to a tombstone friend

positive reinforcement strengthens one's heart

only negativity kills it you see

but you simply disagree to live with your hate

nothing is right for you always wrong

you present yourselves in the best seats in the house

there you grumble, b***h & pout

　

Who critcizes the critic

is there some superior other

yet why should we even bother

the blind will lead the blind

soon to fall in a ditch

Critics suck you see living in their vain glory

always like to change the story

no there not perfect who are they kidding

never do they say they are sorry or ask to be forgiven

eyes with blackened shells in their brain

let me be the first to explain

its totally impossible to live up to there perfect standard

yet they think they are always right never wrong

always in the same lame song

yet what will it take before we could get along

we both can agree to disagree

why don't you just let people be

Reviews

[Gozer]

The critic is the frustrated wannabe who picks at others to compensate for his insecurities and to boost his delusions of grandeur. Most are moderately adequate poets at best and find it pleasurable to take it out on those who have some talent....Leave them on the "ignore" shelf.

[Mario Vitale]

Yes I agree its so hard to live up to their perfect standard.

[Gozer]

they are imperfect by nature, so their standards are flawed to begin with.
