Oh, John - you are not cowardly at all - I think it's actually an act of courage to write your response and not direct it toward whom you wanted to. We all can learn from what you wrote. I loved your poem - I could feel the frustration and the release - and quite frankly, when a poem translates its energy to me: those are THE best!!! so bravo to you!

On the backdrop that you provided (thanks as I truly was curious about what birthed this poem)...

I completely disagree with what that other writer said - for one reason: I see nothing constructive in his comment. Sounds to me like he has a chip. I don't know at all how HubPages works, nor the environment of that site - but you sound very patient.

Good for you channeling that frustration and letting it out here! You're a poet and writer sir !!! Nicely done!!
