English is My Weapon
From A, B, C
to X, Y, Z
Every letter
of the alphabet
in my head
turns to a bullet
Small, heavy
full of lead
26 letters
waiting to be fed
into a clip
to create a word
and to kill
once heard
My mouth
is my gun
Fully loaded
Safe from no one
Open your ears
your mind and heart
Listen to me
and my art
My poetry
My confession
that my obession
is my profession
to take agression
and depression
and to write
day and night
so that I might
somehow excite
and maybe ignite
a bright light
that's been
lost within
all your sin

Umm this one fucking rocks. It's fast-paced and flows so well. While I was reading it, the intensity of the words kept builing up, and I could hear Rage Against the Machine playing in my head. :)
This poem made me feel like I was back in the school courtyard with my circle of friends. Everyone's clapping as someone's rapping and it's just a good feeling to speak your mind and let flow. Thanx for taking me back cuz this poem would definitely fit that type of setting. It has a spontaneous feel to it like it's from the type of your head and I like that. Good job.
