Now When It Comes To Words...  
I Write On My Notepads...  
My Use of Verse...  
Is... NEVER Abstract... !!!  

But Many It Seems...  
Like To Believe...  
That Abstract Themes...  
Are Great To Read...  
When It Comes To Poetry... !!!  

Which Seems Strange To Me... ?  
  
Each To Their Own...  
I KNOW... I KNOW... !!!  
  
But Come On Folks...  
I’d Kinda Like To KNOW...  
What People Are Saying...  
In The Verse That They’re Relating... !!!  
  
WITHOUT Having To TWIST...  
My Brain Like Shrinks...  
Or... PSYCHIATRISTS... !!!  
  
So That I Can Get Someone’s Poem... !!!  
I’ve Said It Before And I’ll Say It Again... !!!  
  
I Think Straight Speaks Best...  
Rather Than... Pretence... !!!  
  
Or... Talk That Runs...  
Like It Does From Fork Tongues... !!!  
  
That’s Right From These Whites...  
Who Like To Hide Behind...  
A World of LIES...  
That Embraces Fake Smiles...  
And What’s Known As DENIAL... !!!  
  
Which Is Now A Profile...  
That Runs FAR TOO WILD... !!!  
  
In... EVERY Race...  
Which Is TRULY A SHAME... !!!  
  
Which Seems To Be Why...  
Things Are Bent Out of Shape...  
In... ABSTRACT Ways...  
In Our World Today... !!!  
  
From The Gender Blender...  
To... New Age Protectors... !!!  
  
That May NOT Be Abstract... ?!?  
But Seem To Backtrack...  
Because What They Lack...  
Are RELIABLE Facts...  
And TRANSPARENCY...  
As To What They Feed...  
  
You See Abstract Vibes...  
Are Mostly CONTRIVED...  
  
So Tend To Keep The TRUTH...  
Well Hidden From View... !!!    

Which Is Why Hip Hop...  
Is What Now TOPS...  
Global Musical Charts...  
Because of It’s HEART...  
And FORTHRIGHT Speech...  
That Keeps Things REAL... !!!  
  
Well It USED To Do...  
But Now Abstract Crews...  
Are Those Making Moves...  
With All Kinds of Weird Grooves...  
And... DIFFERENT Tunes...  
That Are... AUTO-TUNED...  
To Make Them Sound Good...  
  
But Good For... WHO... ?!?  
  
Young Minds Confused...  
By Abstract Views...  
Expressed By Youths...  
Who Are USED Like TOOLS... !!!  
  
Like Those Who USE...  
Their Verse To SHOO...  
  
AWAY What’s CLEAR...  
With Wordplay Geared...  
To Steer Readers Brains...  
ALL OVER The Place... ?!?  
  
When Their Verse Displays...  
An Array of Wordplay...  
That’s Abstract And Strange...  
And A Little Deranged... !?!  
  
When What They Say...  
And Try To Relate...  
Veers Off The Straight...  
Just Like Chicanes... !!!  
  
Well I’d Rather NOT Have To...  
...... NAVIGATE......  
What Someone’s Words...  
Are Trying To Purvey... !!!  
  
Or That’s Right SUPPLY...  
To My Minds Eye...  
  
Which Is Why My Rhymes...  
Are The Type Inclined...  
To Follow STRAIGHT LINES...  
And Staying On Tracks...  
That Stick To The Facts... !!!  
  
Rather Than Be One...  
Whose Artistry’s Loved...  
Because It STUNS...  
And Is Clearly Beyond...  
Basic Comprehension... ?!?  
  
So Becomes What Attracts...  
These PRETENTIOUS Packs...  
  
Who Are Then Quick To Claim...  
That It’s Great And ALL THAT... !!!  
Because It’s Strange...  
Just Like Their Brains... !?!  
  
That Tend To Be AFRAID...  
of Straightforward Wordplay...  
  
Which is Why They’d Rather Sway....  
To Wordplay THAT Is Defined As.....  
  
Being Seen As....  
  
........ “ Abstract “........
It's such an interesting thing, the styling of poetry, however, i'm just not a big fan of abstract art, or poetry, as this piece explains why....
