De-Classified

...most people think that        
poets are phony        
...maybe quirky..a tad bit unhinged
..but never phony
when we decide to un-beautify our words        
...and give them the laymen        
they thought they always wanted        
from us...        
....and once we give them that work        
and once they feel        
...the kind of hurt that burns        
to the core,...the things we've always          
see in 3-D        
......they learn...        
oh hell yeah they learn...        
....suddenly how to turn that {k}new leaf        
and leave us the fuck alone        
...so let's keep it family friendly with          
barbeque and spades        
........cuz most folk don't really wanna        
play Spades with a Poet

Author's Note
I'm a nature geek
and I've always looked at porcupines
as the poets of wildlife
because some truths are hard to swallow
