The Whistle Blower
He started a blog and shared his
thoughts,
little realizing what effect his
spiritual musings
would have on social media; but
one comment
after another, the trolling
became nastier, with
one anonymous troll accusing him
of plagiarizing
his thoughts because he quoted
so often to
lend gravitas to his musings;
and that’s when
it dawned on him that he wasn’t
simply musing
about life, he was blowing the
whistle on the
human condition, which so threatened
social
conscience that he chose to
write poetry instead,
letting his Muse do his thinking
for him; and
his poetry so mystified social
media that
the trolls stopped bothering
him.
