Valley of the [Gall] by D. Xavier BariEnough is enough.
Put the keyboard
...down...
and back away slowly.
These eyes shall
read no further.
The peanut gallery
of the information age
is more gut-wrenching
than any cruddy bar
or park-n-fight
ever constructed.
A massive dystopia
of the uninformed;
with more to blame
than a little
elbow-greasing
from Silicon Valley.
They merely enabled
millions of idiots
to spout off daily
without the fear
of an errant punch
in their gaping maw. 04/07/2003 Author's Note: Okay, so the real title is "Valley of the Balls". Oddly enough, the title was changed for the very same reason the poem was written...
