i want to write about something important
i'm so sick of unemployment
Exhausted with political informants
Worn out with anti-conformists
God damning you about abortions
All of this social media torture
Crooked wars teeming with horror
Strangers telling me what i should work towards
Is this what you sent me to school for?
i refuse to be another voice of misfortune
i refuse to be a slave for another's fortune
i refuse to only write in proportion
i refuse to deal in corporate distortion
i want to write about something with meaning
Fuck rhyme and rhythm to see what i'm seeing
Proper diction doesn't make you a genie
i can syntax all night and you still won't believe me
So whats there left to talk about?
When jersey shore and your girlfriend whore is cut out?
When that heartbreak you had has lost clout?
When parents see through maternal doubt?
Give me something new to think on
Let's accept the fact that we're all wrong
Let's move on from high horses that have been gone
And restrengthen the voice that keeps us all strong
i'm presenting a problem to public poets
We can see the solution but we don't know it
The power of the pencil has no motives
So stand up, sharpen that blade, and fucking own it
i want to write about something important
Beyond the facade of pious portraits
i want to write about something with meaning
Something deeper than skin so you can see me
Give me something.
