Waves of Negativity – a poem

Waves of Negativity

 

Waves of negativity

Destructively weaving

Their intended meanness;

Childishly searching

For any cause to criticise;

Arrogantly spouting

Pedantic nonsense

In a puerile stream of

Vitriolic stupidity

Under many aliases

But with one voice.

Let the children play. A while ago I upset someone by challenging their racism and not agreeing with their right-wing take on Brexit and Trump. Their agenda was one of extreme Islamophobia.

Since then I have been subjected to batches of vitriolic nastiness. Under different aliases they come out with the same nonsense, arrogant put-downs and nastiness.

The interesting thing is that these people, or this person, always replies from the same place while purporting to come from all over the world, always has the same profile, same likes and dislikes, the same knowledge set, the same streak of personal abuse and the same obnoxious views.

Every post I make clogs up my spam box with a thousand posts.

I guess that goes with the nature of blogging. Intelligent debate is a rarity. Abuse is the norm.

Let the children play. But one has to ask what motivates people like this?
