I've always aked the question, "Who are they," but no one seems to know. "They" are sometimes on the right track and at other times, haven't a clue. Most times I just ignore "they." Nice write. Thank you for sharing. Peace, blessings and understanding.

Great succinct poem. That is a question that most of us have asked ourselves. Who are they? the ones that for lack of talent can not create themselves and make a living out of criticizing and trying to tear down those who possess the qualities they lack. They can lift your hopes one day and s quash them the next, Their opinions vary with the wind of their jealousy or with the latest trends. It is sad, but as they say, absolute power corrupts absolutely... and unfortunately our system of publication has given this few individuals that power they hold over the heads of exceptional talented writers like yourself. The good news is that popular opinion most times prevails and even though it takes time... people like you that persevere and have the quality of work that stands out, sooner or later get the recognition they deserve. oops
Sorry I went over board on this... I am leaving now. Good work!
