a valediction to petty slander

This is my missive to the throng
of those who think to slander me –
with ill-conceived heresy
flung childishly along.
Your surly mess, your tantrum song
reveals your shallow poverty.
Does petty incivility
feed egos? Make you strong?
If I've failed to meet expectancy,
fallen short, or missed your mark
and given you an axe to grind,
then try some common courtesy!
Seek the source and there embark
upon your need to speak your mind.
