Only the good get flagged
Only the Good one's get Flagged…
You know, at first I was offended
My world was upended
I felt like I was rear ended
with no kiss, drink or smile
but now I understand the plight
of how jealous creatures in the night
would choose to flag poems
not because the poem is offensive, oh no…
it is because they are envious of the write
only the good get flagged
only the good get flagged
Poets who could not write
Their way out of a paper bag
Use their little knobs
To click abuse
And work the button to ill use
A poem about Anorexia gets flagged
It is jealousy, it is spite
It is now a badge of honor
So I know as I type
Only the good poets get flagged…
Hey you! Don't like this? Flag You!
With love, Guilty…
