They caught a Poem today <br />A newborn by its writer, <br />Dissected it all the way <br />From punctuation to each letter. <br /> <br />They drained it dry of meaning, <br />Analyzing every word. <br />The Poem lay wondering <br />For being, why it suffered. <br /> <br />Some called it cruel names, <br />Banishing the very essence. <br />It lay on the paged frame <br />Crushed in its Innocence. <br /> <br />Its only crime was content - <br />Perhaps to them, displeasing, <br />A mere victim of argument <br />Had to face some editing.<br /><br />Cynthia BuhainBaello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/killing-a-poem/
