Now I'm A Poetic Man...
Who... DOESN'T Like SLAMS... !!!!!

And I... NEVER Have... !!!!!!

Because EVEN When I Did Them...
I Knew They Were A SHAM... !!!!!

ROBBING Folks Like... GIVENS... !!!!!
Would Seem To Be A GIVEN... !?!

Spoken Word Displays...
For Applause That's FAKE... !!!

APPLAUSE For FRAUDS...
Who... SEEK Awards...

YES Poets CONDITIONED...
For SLAMMING Auditions...
With NO... Simon Cowell... ?!?

But Cats Who ACT FOUL...
CLUCKING To Crowds...
Just Like... Chicken Heads...
Who Are QUICK To Go DOWN... !!!

To Give ***** Some Pleasure...
When They DON'T Have FEATHERS... !?!

FEATHERS In Caps...
That PROVE That They SLAM...
... WITHOUT Using RAP...

To SHOW That They BATTLE...
Like THOSE HERDING CATTLE...
And RAPPERS Who PRATTLE...
Like Babies With RATTLES... !?!

These SLAMMERS COMPETE...
For SHINE That LACKS SHEEN... !?!

Is THIS What They DEEM...
To Be... REAL Artistry... !?!

Writing For Their AUDIENCE... ?
These Spoken Word KEVORKIANS... !!!

YES I Mean JACK To Be EXACT.... !!!

DOCTORS of DEATH...
When They WRITE Poems...
That... EXEMPLIFY...
A SUICIDE... Assisted By...
The Lines They Write And Then RECITE...
As If A SLAM Is... " OPENING NIGHT "...

For Verse That's... TRITE... !!!

While I SLAM EVERY Day...
And... EVERY Night...
When My Mind's Inclined...
To Put Pen To Page...

From The UK To The USA...
I See SO MANY Names...
Who Have EARNED Themselves A Place...
Worthy of... CENTRE STAGE...

While I Just Write Away..........................
Creating Like A Sage.........
Who Has NO TIME For Games...

I Write For... Me...
NOT To Be SEEN... !!!

Because My Verse DOES NOT Concur...
With Being CONDITIONED To WIN Competitions... !!!
What Kind of Poet Writes Words For... EFFECT... ?!?

It Seems To Be SLAMMERS...
Who've Got Some DEFECTS... !!!!!!!

I Wish I Had HAMMERS...
For Some of Their HEADS... !!!

ALWAYS Talkin' Bout' ***... !!!
Within Their Poems...

As If That Will Get Them...
Some Kind of RESPECT... !?!

From Women Now WILLING...
To Give Out Some ***...
To Writers Whose FIRE...
Gets Their... ******* WET... !!!!!

And What's With This FAD...
I Now Hear About SLAMS... ?!?!?

Peoples' ****** PREFERENCES...
... FILLING UP Sentences... ?!?

As If People NEED...
To HEAR Their WET DREAMS...
And... PERVERSE Fantasies... !?!

Now I'm... NOT Homophobic...
But Big Virge Is STRAIGHT... !!!

And Believe Slams Should FOCUS...
On... Social Wordplay...
Rather Than ****** SHOWS...
Under... " POETIC Names "...

MOST Slams Seem To Nurture...
A Show Fit For PURPOSE...
of Some... ****** CIRCUS... !?!

I've Seen Hosts Get NERVOUS...
When Poets Are NERVELESS...
And Speak About Isms'...
BEYOND... Chauvinism...
... INVERTED Sexism...

And Speak On The Visions...
NOW HURTING Our Children... !!!

That's Just... MY Opinion... !!!
So Critics Should LISTEN...
Or READ These Next Words...

DO What You WILL... !!!
To Get Yourselves HEARD...
Or To Get Your Shows FILLED...

But RECOGNISE THIS... !!!
There Are LYRICISTS...
Who Analyse Things...
And Utilise Scripts...

Who DO... " ENTERTAIN "...
Through Wordplay That's STRAIGHT... !!!
And..... ELEVATES Brains..... !!!!!

So IS... " Entertainment "...
The NAME of Slam Games... ?!?

If Your Answer Is YES...
Where Are The FAT Cheques... ???
For... Spoken Word Heads...
Who Focus On ***... ???

Isn't That PROSTITUTION... !?!
of … Poetic Movements... ?!?

I Thought That REAL POETS...
Write Words For A CAUSE... !!!

NOT To Grace Stages...
Like... Lyrical ******... !?!

I'm A SLAMMER Fa' SURE... !!!
Whose Poems FEED MORE...
Than... SLACK Lyricism...
That's... Lyrical ****... !?!

What Are You Folks Thinking... ?!?!?
How About FEEDING Minds …
About OUR DECLINE... !?!

INTO A People Descending To EVIL...
And ATTITUDES... COLDER...
Than Those With EBOLA... !!!!!!

These Slammers FILL Quotas...
Like Apartheid Did... BOTHA'... !!!!!!!

With Methods Devised To Utilise Rhymes...
And Prose That's VERBOSE...
That Leaves Honest Writers...
OUTSIDE of... "Their Fold"...
And …. OUT In THE COLD.... !!!!!!

My Style Is MORE BOLD... !!!!!
And Something... AUTHENTIC... !!!!!!

MOST Slammers I See...
Are Pathetic... Generic...
And Quite EGOCENTRIC... !!!!!

While Me I'm MAJESTIC...
When Using POLEMICS... !!!
To PROVE They're COSMETIC...
And FAR From..................... Poetic.... !!!!!

These Slams Use Time Limits...
As If Peoples'... Thinking...
Should Be... "LIMITED"... !!!

These Slammers Are LUCKY...
My Name ISN'T... " Nucky "... !!!

A THOMPSON Type Wrongun'...
Whose Solutions Cause PROBLEMS... !!!!!

My Words Are A FORCE...
That Aim To Be HIGHER...
Than... ANY Church Spire... !!!

Which is WHY I'm A Man...
Whose Poetry STANDS...
For MORE THAN THESE SHAMS... !!!!!!

That Have Now Become KNOWN...

As A... Poetry...

...... " SLAM "......
