This poem V

There is truth in poetry If you sit down and slowly decipher the meaning of that metaphor But be careful The truth in poetry is like cyanide Slowly it will devour you Your down in the floor Gasping for air Your lungs collapsing Blood coming out of your ears and eyes Your suddenly screaming, but Nobody Can Hear You But before you go through it all I want to remind you that poetry has repetition For your own sake the truth is being screamed at you In repetition So that you don't go and knock your head off your neck Forcing us, to write an emotive eulogy of how you almost tasted the truth. Inspiring your progenies to passionately embark on that journey to sniff the truth in poetry While all along Its been smeared right on their faces
