THIS SHIT

Folder: 
"Abstract"

SOME TIMES I WRITE SHIT...

SHIT THAT BE ON MY MIND...

SHIT, LIKE THE TYPE OF BULLSHIT THAT'S BEEN HERE SINCE THE BIGINNING OF TIME...

THE RACISM,

THE PREJUDICE,

THE SEGREGATION OF SEXES...

AND THE SHIT STILL FUCKS WITH ME...

BUT WE'RE TAUGHT TO JUST ACCEPT THIS SHIT

AND KEEP IT STEPPING...

SEE, I SPIT LINES OF PROFOUND MINDS

YET, SOMETIMES I STILL CALL IT, SHIT...

'CAUSE MY SHIT BE KNOWLEDGE SPIT

TO LAND UPON THE YOUNG, DUMB, & BLIND...

"NIGGA" STOP WINING WHEN I SAY YO' SHIT TIGHT,

NO DISRESPECT TO THE DEPTH OF YOUR CONCEPT...

SHIT, IT'S ALL IN RESPECT,

BUT SOMEWHERE YOU FLIPPED THE SCRIPT,

AND FOCUSED SOLELY ON THE RETROSPECT...

AND STOP NEGLECTING YO' SHIT,

'CAUSE YOU FEEL PEOPLE AINT ACCEPTING YO' SHIT...

'CAUSE WHEN IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO IT...

IT'S ABOUT EXPLOITING THE SHIT GOD BLESSED YOU WITH...

BEHIND THIS SHIT THAT I SPIT

LIES A MESSAGE OF MORALS...

FROM THE LITERARY SHIT THAT I KICK

TO THE ORAL...

NIGGA, BE YOUR SELF IN THIS GAME,

AND STOP TRYING TO DO WHAT OTHERS DO...

'CAUSE WHEN SHIT ALL HITS THE FAN

YOU GOIN GET SLAPPED WITH THE TRUTH...

”.....That we all spit & write shit sometimes.....”

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This particular poem was simply the product of response. I read something that disgusted,
yet compelled me at the same time. And I thought I would respond to it. I even kept the same title.
I like this poem because it wasn't rehearsed, or thought out. It was simply free verse conversation in my brainstorming mind.

You really rattled my cage with "THIS SHIT" and I'm looking forward to reading more of your work.
You are one hell of a writer. I see so much profanity here and get so disgusted with the use of it because it seems most have no talent for use of trash words.
What you have done here is a WHOLE OTHER thing.
Read every word and didn't even flinch.
Your words are spell binding....
I cannot even rave about your talent.. for this is far beyond talent.... Such a superior quality is BRILLIANCE.
At last, I have found a place where I can read without being bored!!!
Do you post with any on line group?
