Analysis of Cheaters Prosper Elegy
Certainly my works should be in contention
Honestly how can they be when?
Every monthly winner has been
A kid scribbling up gibberish
That makes me truly wish
Eyes were blind this site did not pretend to relish
Redundant works of "poetry"
Submissions that are of such quality
People squirm, beg and plea
Reminded why they don't read
Obvious attempts to win by greed
Surpassing true winners in need
Pinned under fraudulent votes
Elegy for the great writers that would rather slash their throats
Rendered unconscious by the filth of these dissonant notes
