Carl the Troll
Paul Grenek 1977 (San Bernardino)
There will always be that one, that person you don't know. They always seem to find you, then give us all a show. The internet these days, it's an amazing tool, but, when that person finds you, it's then they start to drool. They watch the screen with pleasure, they know just what they'll do. Waiting for a person, a person just like you. You navigate and surf the waves, entertaining to your mind, maybe stop and comment, or drop a silly line. That person who's been waiting for you, loud their knuckles crack, and just as you have posted, that's when they attack. Your words were never meant to start a stupid fight, but, Carl, here ,he just don't care, he'll trash you through the night. Look at him and read his words, notice he's so smart, tearing up and shaming you, humiliation is his art. He sits behind his little screen whenever he gets bored, for assassination of your character is what this man adores. Proving you to be a fool for what it was you said, he thrives on bashing others, it fills his empty head. Watch him tear into this man and laugh as he taunts more. Dehumanize and minimize, he wants ro break your core. He knows you'll never find him, his screen he covets dear, it is his golden bubble, with which he need not fear. Carl loves to get online, it's always fun to choose. Which of you should I attack? I surely will not lose. This little man who hides away, laughing behind a screen, he has no life, except his wife, now Karen's on the scene. I'll tell you all about these two, I'll tell you what I think. Our dear friends Karen and Carl, these two truly stink. They will always strive real hard to verbally abuse. Attacking you and baiting you, disdain is what they use. These internet trolls have no respect or care for a stranger's life. They sit at home, or on their phone just to cause you strife. The time will come when Carl here, and his lovely spouse, they will attack the wrong person... and he will find their house. Sleep well Carl...
