DEVISIVE MONSTER

Trolling down the stream one night
  just reading poetry, alright?
  when eyes grew wide in disbelief
  I saw the source of so much grief

POLITICS!! there in plain sight !
  this site infected with the blight
  I should have simply shook my head
  but like a fool I read , instead

Befor long I did perceive
  the author was just plain naive!
 "let it ride!" my mind did shout
  alas, this voice had little clout

I wrote reply to listed friend
  to put false illusions to an end
  too bad, it soon became my fate
  to find myself in a debate......


I still read this author's work
  and writing comments I don't shirk
  our friendships ruined, I had to blow it
  Do politics belong in Neopoet ?
