“Now, as I understand it, the bards were feared. They were respected, but more than that they were feared. If you were just some magician, if you'd pissed off some witch, then what's she gonna do, she's gonna put a curse on you, and what's gonna happen? Your hens are gonna lay funny, your milk's gonna go sour, maybe one of your kids is gonna get a hare-lip or something like that — no big deal.

You piss off a bard, and forget about putting a curse on you, he might put a satire on you. And if he was a skilful bard, he puts a satire on you, it destroys you in the eyes of your community, it shows you up as ridiculous, lame, pathetic, worthless, in the eyes of your community, in the eyes of your family, in the eyes of your children, in the eyes of yourself, and if it's a particularly good bard, and he's written a particularly good satire, then three hundred years after you're dead, people are still gonna be laughing, at what a twat you were.”
― Alan Moore

“Just because they write something In this font
And break apart their lines
To rhyme
To dramatize
To imitate
Doesn’t make what they say true.
And quotations marks
Don’t make sentences “life conclusions.”
A post, a page,
A billboard, or a wallpaper—
Let it swirl for a few
and if you want to spit it out,
Vomit.
If you want to keep it,
Let it ride shotgun.
But argue with it first.
Debate.
Don’t simply accept it
Because you may
By accident
Accept a monster
Disguised
As a poem.”
― Karl Kristian Flores, Can I Tell You Something?
