Here's the thing ...love poetry..hate 'slam poetry'..ok hate is such a strong word...despise?..Anyway i live in Toronto and the place is littered with 'slam' poets. They're everywhere trynna preach a message of hope and love and kumbaya and ugh i hate..sorry ..despise them all.....It's like shouting something for emphasis does not make it deep...Here let me have a go at it..this is a piece i wrote two seconds ago...It's called 'WHY'
My life is full of misery
I see a light and its flickering
I feel and empty like a car running on..empty
WHY ..(pause for effect)
See..there..i am a freaken slam poet...that piece could probably earn me second place at te Toronto Slam poets competion...no joke..they are THAT wack. Anyway, you know who isnt wack?
