New poem: "The Hide-behinders"

 

The Hide-behinders

 

A phrase popped into my mind that puts

into perspective my conceptual understanding

of a curious phenomenon that’s becoming

more and more prevalent on Facebook

and other social media platforms, a phrase

that explains a type of personality that would

have put a smile on the great psychologist Carl

Gustav Jung’s face, a phrase that best describes

the ersatz nature of the pusillanimous pretenders

of moral superiority who rather than speak

their own mind hide behind the wisdom words

of well-known thinkers who reflect the same

sentiment that they’re too scared to express

themselves—the “hide-behinders.”

 

Composed in Tiny Beaches,

Georgian Bay, Southcentral, Ontario
