Whip of Critique

You hold the hooked whip of critique

And crown yourself an authority people 

Expect you to be. 

Maybe eventually people

Will be free of you and your so called

Mastery. 

What might a master be except a key to

The boon of legitimacy?

And we might see the fraud you’ve always

Knew you were, producing but critiques

And no real works to judge. But alas,

You can’t see beyond your veil of idle destructive

Tendencies.

Author's Note

What does this make you feel?
Did this speak to you in some way?
Are there any critiques you have?

[Thomas W Case]

This makes me think of the people who criticize without putting themselves out there. The world is full of them. Great work.
