Poem thread

[Lonewulf]

Don't really feel like doing a copy-paste so i'll just say this: All my old poems and stoof are on my deviantART page. Just search for DirtBat (thats my deviant username). Keep in mind these were wrote as far back as 11 years ago (though some are from the last few years). I haven't wrote anything lately.

You are the star in the movie of my life
While I'm just the supporting cast in yours

Okay, that was awesome

In my English class we had to do a poetry-writing activity (we're prepping for when we start reading Poe, plus my teacher is a poetry freak) in which we all wrote 7 words and randomly handed them out. Once we got our paper we had 10 min to write a poem that used all of the words (or as many as we could).

My words were:

1. Dog
2. Riot
3. Complain
4. Insecurity
5. Steel
6. Space
7. Nation

And this is what I came up with:

What hurts me
Is the insecurity of an oppressed peoples
Depression's worsening
But I will never ever
Dare put the steel to my skin
Won't sever
My veins or splatter my brains
Whatever
Not that you care about my fate
It's sickening
One nation, divided by hundreds of millions of lines
Why?
Personal space is violated
Look at this mess that we've created
Watch the out of touch debate it
They blame it
All upon the other to avoid responsibility
Is that the kind of person we want leading our country?
Yes
If history is anything to respect
And it is
Any strays from our dog-and-sheep system will put the leash on our necks
Mob mentality tends to lead to violence
Dire fights and vile riots
Why is it
That we complain but never work to fix our pain
We need change
Yet sitting on our asses is all that we do
Things stay the same
If you want something done you gotta do it yourself
If you pull yourself up you're no longer in the the the the

I figured it'd be a neat challenge for people in here if they wanna write a poem or step their game up or just goof off and write something.

If that's the case, here I'll give you words

1. Pineapple
2. Silver
3. Pen
4. Blossom
5. Barbiturate
6. Eye
7. Moon

Or you could just keep writing whatever

1. Pineapple X
2. Silver X
3. Pen X
4. Blossom X
5. Barbiturate X
6. Eye X
7. Moon X


This world is the the the the,
It grows hotter;
even as my pen works its magic
on the essence of my burning paper.

Growing is the easy part,
We all blossom eventually.
We may love what we become,
But the the the the the comes from the third eye
It may hold the world's beauty
But inside is a blade made of sliver
Waiting to slice your throat
When you utter;
'We're finally safe.'

Looking at the moon
People call it 'the Jewel of the Sky'
I call it lucky.
It only observers,
It mocks,
It gets to come and go in bits.
Leaving a bright night,
Or a big shadow of darkness.

I see this all;
Missing the time when Pineapples
Were just 2 dollars.
A time where the sun was clear and the Bird
One by one
Would fly straight towards the sun;
Freedom
Peace
Where the only ugliness was the bags of meat
Below.
Where is my Ticket to freedom?
If only it were as cheap as it seemed before.

I see myself in these thoughts and yell to myself:
"RUN! JOIN THEM! YOU'RE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE!"
But I always get the same response;
I wake up.

Where is my freedom?
"Right here"
He said.
"It'll slow the pace down for you,"
Said him.
I see now what he means,
I give my thanks to the Barbiturate,
For I see the light
It was in my own house;
I simply never expected
To see me hang under it.





Nailed it imo

This is from the Def Poetry Jam (which was amazing to watch)

J. Ivy

This was used in the Kanye song Never Let Me Down (ORLY?)

We are all here for a reason on a particular path
You don't need a curriculum to know that you are part of the math
Cats think I'm delirious, but I'm so 野菜 serious
That's why I expose my soul to the globe, the world
I'm trying to make it better for these little boys and girls
I'm not just another individual, my spirit is a part of this
That's why I get spiritual, but I get my hymns from Him
So it's not me, it's He that's lyrical
I'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven-sent instrument
My rhythmatic regimen navigates melodic notes for your soul and your mental
That's why I'm instrumental
Vibrations is what I'm into
Yeah, I need my loot by rent day
But that is not what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte
I'm tryina give us "us free" like Cinque
I can't stop, that's why I'm hot
Determination, dedication, motivation
I'm talking to you, my many inspirations
When I say I can't, let you or self down
If I were of the highest cliff, on the highest riff
And you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life in my grip
I would never, ever let you down
And when these words are found
Let it been known that God's penmanship has been signed with a language called love
That's why my breath is felt by the deaf
And why my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind
I, too, dream in color and in rhyme
So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house
Cuz whenever I open my heart, my soul, or my mouth
A touch of God reigns out

This ish is so powerful ;_____;
