The interesting thing about poetry is that it is not written for you, it is written for the poet

So easy to hate.
No need to try,
or reason the why.
Just hate it all,
..until you die.
Behind the closed door,
one wonders what it's all for.

My comments were probably inappropriate, given the nature of the thread, but I don't think my style is quite as blunt as Trixie's.Are you trying to usurp it as Trixie did the other thread

I sometimes stand here swatting flies
Because they are immediate,
Because I feel superior
To senseless flitting in my face.
I sometimes stand here far too long,
Absorbing meaning from attack
Because the lure of lobbing lies
Can hide a moment's impotence.
