I have read time and time again
Of the little weasel who goes for the throat
“I do not like what you write”
The weasel says
“And you must adjust to please me”
Well I tell you my weasel friend
And I assure you it is straight from my heart
Whether a poem makes you mad
Or it makes you cry
It has done what it has set out to do
Stir the emotions inside
If you do not like what you read my weasel friend
Then please take my advice
Go away and get a life
Because I write for me
To tell a writer not to write is to put a dagger in their heart
It is a murderous deed I say
Not everything may be to your taste
I can live with that
Thank God that I am free
To write and write what I want
And share it with whom I please
Now go back to your hole my weasel friend
And leave the writers be

Sadly some people think all negative critism is spoken by unsavory people.One can learn even from a fool.

Actually this was inspired by something that happened to someone else. They were threatened with lawsuit because what they had written was taken as offensive to one reader. He was also told that the lawsuit would take place if he continued to write.
