Email after email after email

Lies after lies and so it goes.

Accusations of being a scumbag

by a man that sold fabricated stories

to papers for millions.

This from a man who has one than one

facebook account in different names;

a man who reviews his own books

using pseudonyms but the same style.

How he writes is always the same.

To intelligent people, it all reads

as the rantings of a troll. That I know.

My crime: sending a parcel by a

courier who then lost it.

Weeks spent chasing were not enough.

Neither was the insulting compensation

they offered. But I’m still the culprit.

It’s all there, on screen, tracked to the

point it vanished. But I ‘stole’ the

contents. And yes, they were irreplaceable.

Surrounded by enablers he spins his yarns,

until he, himself, believes his words.

But it will all go away. He won’t turn up

on my doorstep if I pay two thousand pounds.

The fear I feel for my family and myself

all disappears for that princely sum.

The price of a parcel, and the harassment,

the extortion and the hate campaign.

It all stops. But it won’t. The man is cancer.
