I am better than him

As I read this poet, addressing vulgar theme
I ask myself question, shall I censor his words
Block his painful attempt to penetrate these herds
With improper context, as I want to just scream

Shall I send a comment to have his words removed
As the numbness in mind of reading about cocks
Should he have editor to facilitate blocks
As I don't want to read, I simply disapprove

Is there any beauty in the fling of his texts
Let's talk about nature, or the world around us
Not about private things, better left undiscussed

But I sit in anger, I am very perplexed
Who reads this crudity, am I minority
I am better than him, Superiority!

Great poem Louis! Taken from the point of view of someone doesn't appreciate or approve of a poet's creativity and looks down their nose at that poet and the subject.
