Isn’t Poetry Just

Not yours specifically, just in general
Isn’t poetry just shit?
Nice rhyming scheme, but fuck all potential
Thoughts just not going in or around it

And I’ll repeat this line to make it seem more important.

Counting syllables, forgetting parables
Rhyming dictionary dot com
The open mic night, isn’t the only example
Shouldn’t there be a meaning to a story or song?

And I’ll repeat this line to make it seem more important.

If you think it’s bad you don’t know the half of it
At least you can’t hear all his spelling mistakes,
Friends are too gentle to tell him he’s shit,
Friends are to genital to put on the breaks.

And I’ll repeat this line to make it seem more important.

And sad thing is, it’s really that easy.
Just speak with confidence, and follow these rules,
Google a rhyming scheme, buy a thesaurus.
Don’t think too much, try hard – you can’t lose.

M,NMN, OPOO.
E,FEF. GHGG.
Drone on and on, in a boring monotone
What’s the fucking point.
Bla Bla Bla blablaBLABLABLA BLA

And I’ll repeat this line to make it seem more important.

Don’t worry about the tenses
When he said him, do I really mean me?
It’ll just make it all seem a little bit mysterious
And it’s a lot fucking easier than writing it properly.

Mention current affairs, like bombings in Boston.
Mine up the emotion from a terrorist’s crimes
Protests in Palestine, cause you’re right there with em’
But really you’re just happy with alliteration that rhymes.

AND I’LL REPEAT THIS LINE TO MAKE IT SEEM MORE IMPORTANT

Ramp up the tension, pretend to be angry
Stare down the crowd as the tempo’s increased
Stamp down my feet; throw my arms up beside me
But I’ve not got a real message, just a top shop degree.

AND I’LL REPEAT THIS LINE TO MAKE IT SEEM MORE IMPORTANT

Limited brain capacity ain’t the only thing that’s stopping me.
Never won a fight and I’ve never been lifted
Least Ann Frank had a motive for a diary  
Might be my problems are all self-inflicted

And I’ll repeat this line to make it seem more important

Everything we’ve covered was someone else’s invention
Everything you ever did was a just copyright breach
Make sure you say cunt, cause they’ll think that you’re edgy
Make sure that you pause. so you “let the piece breathe”

And I’ll repeat this line to make it seem more important

Slow down at the last verse.
Throw in, some commas,
It’s just a cheap trick
No conclusions been reached

And I’ll repeat this line to make it seem more important.
And I’ll repeat this line, to make it seem more important.
And I’ll repeat this line, to make it seem, more important.
