What talent does a critic need,
none is the obvious answer,
their views are their personal opinion,
which can be spread like cancer.

So why do we let them influence us,
why do we even care,
it's because they get our backs up,
they make sure we know they are there.

So what is this world coming to,
when through a message of sadness,
the sender is condemned to hell,
this is sheer and utter madness.

A person who has lost a child,
to a mother expresses his views,
his critics then think spelling mistakes,
are worthy of world news.

The purpose of the letter written,
was to try and pass on some relief,
to comfort her in her hour of need,
to show her he shared her grief.

An act of kindness and deep thought,
by these bastards is then abused,
what we need to highlight here is,
a grieving mother is being used.

A perfectly innocent kindly act,
is then twisted to create a sensation,
to discredit what were his genuine thoughts,
for the reasons of exploitation.

Then when this story's run its course,
this mother will be in a fix,
for these critics who have used her,
will dump her like a ton of bricks.

This is our media at its worst,
it is they who are to blame,
the instigators are truly sick,
they should hang their heads in shame.

Our prime minister did nothing wrong,
he has at least retained his pride,
as for the tabloids who attacked him,
their actions we must all deride.

The gutter press are alive and well,
a critics aim is to cause ado,
this time it was Gordon Brown,
'' The Next Time It Could Be You ''
