Dear Fellow
Manipulator of words,
who derides me for
my apathy.
Who twists the words
to play the truth,
who mocks me for
my use, uncouth,
of the very same skill.
Opposite sides of
the same coin
which, at the end
of the day,
purchases your book,
the meal you cook.
While on your pedistal you point.
Excuse me if
I'm blinded by
your halo.
Author notes
Doesn't it suck when half of you gets uppity at the other half? And then expresses it through the half it is uppity at? If that makes any sense. Reading James K Baxter makes me feel the need to defend my law student self from my poet do good for the world self. I think I need a chocolate.

Lawyers and poets are very much alike...they know how to manipulate words and are quite eloquent...gritty at times, yet beautiful...
and very misunderstood...
and oh, and quite stubborn...never argue with a lawyer/poet...they got SKILLS!
