on thin splinters of sacrosanct shared experiences,
the trolls dangle their bait, and, we, take a bite,
from shame, or fear, rather than howl for humanity
shamed by bored schadenfreudists' misuse of tragic
no one wants to be tagged for tipping a sacred cow,
no matter the cow's a cheap paper cut-out standing
in cardboard fields spray-painted with green grass:
a stage-set built by a very lonely audience of one
yet, nothing's offered here, on our collectivity's
altar, that's not shared within us, to some degree,
even if it exists only as a poltergeist in fantasy,
or, will-o-wisp flitting in memories' dismal swamp
my revulsion looks in a mirror, and sees revulsion
looking back with an accusing, leering, evil smile

Poignant, purposive, and penetrating. Just three of the words that won't be appearing in my review! 
There once was a coder named Bill
With far too much time left to kill
So he rattled off verse
It couldn't be worse
Oh where is that headache pill?
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

If trolls are something that you cannot bear
Remember their words come from less than a tongue
Sent through a medium slighter than air
From their level of substance, look up to see dung

There are few things more enjoyable to wax lyrical on than rissoles on the Interwebs.
What adds to the gusto is that few of them can understand anything that requires the appliance of more than three brain cells for more than three seconds.

I recently read an interview with Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes and Chris Robinson Brotherhood[^] who said about Joe Bonamassa "he's a Donald Trump on guitar, I hate that guy with his fake blues".
Admittedly I hadn't heard any of Bonamassa's music, but now that I have I can see his point 
|

Chris Robinson, who has pissed off everybody including his brother, is no more than a rhythm guitarist, and can't make his mind up what genre he's supposed to be representing is hardly a source of wisdom to which I am inclined to bow. It's not like every guitarist that ever lived has not had similar charges thrown at him at some time.

I agree with him on this point though, even if only to do what you always do to me
To be fair though, his Brotherhood does sound a lot better than Bonamassa's dumbed down 'blues' rock for the Bona masses

It's been 5317 days since the 9-11 tragedy. Never forget the lives lost that day and the thankless heroes who have kept us safe since.

Do you mean something like "the Show must go on?"
Anyway read this:The Lounge - CodeProject[^]

Well it is quite an interesting number ...
5317 is the hypotenuse of 2 primitive Pythagorean triples:
5317^2 = 515^2+5292^2 = 3395^2+4092^2
5317 has 2 representations as a sum of 2 squares:
5317 = 31^2+66^2 = 49^2+54^2
