Any thoughts on this idea, it's pretty cliche I know, but sometimes cliches exist for a reason?

Sometimes silence is perceived as acquiescence.

I grew up with "If you can't say something nice - then don't say anything at all". I know - that this doesn't apply to everything - but 90% of YA does. If you do not agree on here - then just move on. We are in the world to "do no harm" or "to leave this place better than when you came" - these are cliches that have long been overlooked ♥

I've missed whatever sparked this verse

But see it in your opinion

Trolls and low-lives are a curse

No hope with them for union

They only know how to destroy

It is their greatest pleasure

Blank them out and thus you can

Avoid them at your leisure.

I have extended the hand of friendship to such as these, only to find it mauled....once bitten, twice shy (Iano doesn't understand when some-one is trying to mend fences, or does perhaps but prefers to live in the shadows)

You forgot the lines about how:

1. we are hostages here and we can't leave, or stop reading

2. we can't violate someone who is abusing a space that 13 and 14 year olds are spending a lot of time in.

Otherwise I feel chastised an educated by this piece.

Thanks.

I think I'm moving to Switzerland.

Good poem though - cliche is ok when it's used for a good purpose.

Divided highways are a good idea, I think.

I like your poem, I like the sentiment,

and sometimes I get run up on the median....

Lines of Futility, aptly named indeed.

It IS futile to look the other way when

a back handed slap is there to meet you.

I agree. But hey, you can't try and befriend both.

Trust me.
