productively counter-productive

on them great god damn online comment boards
lies the 'great' god damn dumping grounds for trolls
providing the 'noble' god damn causes for their opposites

the filthy a*****e-ish monsters to break all to pieces
and the pc d********g fairies to fake all the harmonies

both strive for attention

it's an axiomatic struggle of a kind
of blanket construction vs chaotic reduction
a battle as old as why v why not

a question unquestionably unanswerable
an arrogance sandwich that never ever gets eaten

with a mess of real people in between
not really giving a s**t
as real humans were meant to exist

Ascerbic tirade that resonates with me so strongly. Harsh language expresses the poet's angst and frustration with cyber-comment boards and the intolerance/"hating" /narcissism of some posts- "arrogance sandwich" great metaphor. Kudos to all who post constructively. Thumbs down to negativity. Love this!

This poem is kind of like a mirror. You're a nice person, I think that's why you received it as you did.

So sorry to have misinterpreted!. Now re-reading I see what you mean.

Don't be sorry. There's no wrong way to interpret things in the online poetry world. No one truly owns the meaning of even their own words.
