Watching, listening

taking it all in.

You say the things we long to hear

trapping us with sacchrine and chemically induced

sweetness

intoxicated by your praise

but wait...

did one have the nerve

to disagree

with the way you think things should be?

And you

YOU

who claims to be love and light

places his virtual head

upon the chopping block

of your timeline

to belittle

to name-call

to take down

one who has

worked so hard

to simply find the courage to connect

Shame on you

For all you do

and who you pretend to be.
