Beware Of The Reporter!
Beware!
Here comes the reporter
with curiousity that bites
far worse than a black adder!
A seeker of sensational stories,
the gossip monger armed with words.
She can crush anyone's reputation
using the media as her weapon!
She claims to be
the Voice Of the People
but who's to say what drives
the persistence in that girl?
Beware of the reporter!
Keep your dark secrets hidden.
let no words you utter
discredit your own person!

You tell me, alidzain
why do you think this poem has gone un-commented on for so long?
Then I will tell you why I think so.

Not sure, Jess
Maybe its cliche or we are all just busy with the workshop. Truth is this is one of my older poems.

that is a very serious question
and it has been raised by different people.
Is Neopoet suffering as a workshop for all poets by having specific workshops?
Specifically to your poem, I think it alludes to something personal that you don't name so people don't relate to it.
