Slam poetry makes me sick Literature is the art of the unwashed masses for the simple fact that all you need to have to unlock the magic in a string of words was two eyes and the power to read Then some selfish ******* decided that he needed more attention So he created poetry that had to be listened to And had to be spoken by the author to ensure all attention was pointed his way Of course once the attention grabbing power of this cookie cutter poetry was revealed to every intellectually overcompensating , coffee drinking, moped riding, fashion statement making ******* Ever coffee shop, book store, street corner and city park was full of pointing fingers and raised voices and whispering Stomping feet and any other gimmick to keep onlookers from noticing that everything they were hearing was recycled compost Punctuation was flying everywhere And the worst part is this brain killing monster ***** good free-thinking poets into its sinister grips It is time for a revolution A revolt A Renaissance Stop listening to slam poetry Slap anyone who try's to make it Tell strangers doing it to shut the **** up Thank you
