gimme a poem like that

 
 
 
 
I dont want a poem that  
sits in the corner whining  
and whimpering to be read  
 
gimme a poem that charges  
across the room with fist flying,
punching me in the face, kicking  
me in the crouch, then slits  
my throat for good measure  
 
gimme a poem that roars  
like a hungry lion stalking  
the Serengeti  
 
gimme a poem that makes  
me dream of the gods, life,
death and all the rest
 
gimme a poem that makes  
me scream, curse at the heaven's  
and bleed out from sacred  
places in my being
 
gimme a poem that brings  
down governments and
raises the human spirit to
walk Olympus free of fear  
from hunger, poverty and war  
 
gimme a poem like that!
 
because that's a poem  
worth fucking  
reading
