Frederick Kesner - Un-Common Courtesy

I know what it's like to write and to not be read -
It's much like to speak out and not be heard.

And then there is being read but not gotten back to
It's like greeting someone hello and they just walk right past you.

You are almost sure they heard you at such close proximity
And yet it seems you've been cloaked with invisibility.

So when you post all of your work with such ferocity,
Then expect to be acknowledged, why not extend the same courtesy?
