karma is a thing of irony
its wheel can
turn
in the other directions
hour of
burn

be
not
a
fool
be
aware
of
the
change
shown
by
the
spool

the run of the mill team
sought a popularity
tag
and on gaining it were
able to cockily
brag

they'd disposed of
the crowd pleasing
Wolf and Rabbi
this did bring them
a greater share
of the pie

karma will
alter its lot
in the due passage of time
tick tock
              tick tock
                            tick tock
a date marked
with its
paradoxical chime

they're situated in a heaven
more commonly known
as the trolling estate
at this infamous piece of property
they dream up
an inordinate
amount of quasi accounts
which they use in an
alternate fashion
to harass and outrageously torment
they who hold but one
solo account

these ego driven allotments
aren't worthy of due
consideration
we should on them be showering
the language of severest
condemnation

it is very clear to see
that the trolls have little to do
with their ever vacuous
time
but sit at a computer screen
and bedevil the poet community
like an unconscionable
chime

they rear their multiple heads
to habitually
******
in such an unstately
manner of
zest

carrying a humongous ego*
is so heavy in weight
it's much like a fifty ton
load of lead freight

who in their right mind wants
to haul around a cargo this big
being encumbered by it
could easily sink the brig

an ego of enormous size
isn't worth the shoulder stress
so don't put yourself under
*such a burden of duress

a few joined the campaign  
and as a body of one
they relentlessly harassed
a specific two  

mob mentality
won the prize of control
the methods they used
so rancid in toll

victory is theirs
yet only for a while

others are marching
with a new drummer's parade
ready willing and able
to oust the sitting crusade

how could we ever forget*
the pouty boy
his idolization of himself
an irksome ploy

sulking as the giving boys
got a better reception
they were placed in the
more deserving section

the envious streak
within his being's core
so craved for their
extraordinary score

his face was *******
by a jealous cringe
real evidence of a
pouty boy's hinge

he carried the scowling
cross into adulthood
where it festered
*beneath the wood

one's thoughts return to July last year
where an unjust event took place
two men of verse did disappear
therein was left a voided space

where an unjust event took place
they were shunted off the site's stage
therein was left a voided space
one easily recalls with outrage

they were shunted off the site's stage
by a ruthless campaigning snip
one easily recalls with outrage
asking why expedite their flip

by a ruthless campaigning snip
talented poets ordered out
asking why expedite their flip
no rhyme or reason in the clout

talented poets ordered out
two men of verse did disappear
no rhyme or reason in the clout
one's thoughts return to July last year

the satirical poet's violin
was remarkably played
by our Beryl's fabulous bow
so gifted its string
