I'm sorry
I don't care
if it;s prejudiced
or presumptive,


if you're younger than 18,
and haven't worked

or produced sweat under your pit
whilst
splashing grease on your arm
and handing a bag
to an old lady,

and driving a broken down car
which you have to jump every morning,

and wearing old black rags
that don't fit the *** well,


I don't care what you have to say.

all your work will be 'love'
and or issues with 'society'
and how it's done you wrong.


you need to die a little
before you can expect to write
something of substance.

so start now
