*photo by Kerri Tenbrunsel There are many ways of skinning the cat
Flipping the coin
Rolling the dice.
Poetry is life.
Many try, Most fail
To modernize poetry and verse
Modern music and rap
Have come so close
Yet fall into the the trap of time
Keep it simple and pure
Keep it real and sincere
Capture the sound of silence
Stop the struggle with unreality.
If it’s woke, it’s broke
Out with pretension
In with infectious appreciation
Be real. Address the core of humanness
Add to society
The answer does not lie in chemistry
Or effete erudition, be real to the core
Enjoy implore what surrounds you
If you’ve nothing to add
Keep your victimous blad
To yourself
Don’t squeeze it
To verse!
“Thank you, uh! Thank you very much, uh!”
😳
