  • Hmm..I'll say this: This poem was very deep. I actually enjoyed it. However, when I learned about poetry slams in high school, the teacher always said to avoid laguage like that was found in this at all costs. There were aspect of this that I didn't like at all, but I thought it was really thought and planned out.

  • word but how can you aoivd language when poetry comes from the soul and what you're feeling and from the way you talk

  • amazinq

  • OPINION..FREE WILL...SOUL..thinking...Ponder­ing...deep thought...A play of words that can be metaphorically correct but just cannot process to a mind that is not yours..Ignorant?? no..just realistic. The sheer measure of spoken words has no limit; vocabulary. My Vocabulary. My Voice .My Pen and Pad..Writing what i see and seeing what i write.find it within.search like a miner; ambitious like a freedom fighter.choose wisely and be cautious...not those who u know, but the one's w/ the silver spoon

  • tobin333...Poetry or spoken word is like any other passion sum1 may have just like music, painting, dance, fashion, food, even sex, etc... its how people xpress themselves and how they feel... u write it when you get the motivation inspiration or watever and you preform it whenever sum1s willing to hear... And ol girl rite here has mad talent and skills and passion and if she sees this will u b goin 2 Brave New Voices this yr n DC? if so, c u there

  • It actually serves alot of purpose. She could have just helped someone put their feelings and emotions about the same situation into words. Thats like askin how did you find the time to watch this vid? or for what purpose does the comment you left serve? You just took the time to express your feelings about the vid. She just took the time to express her feelings about the situation...

  • But never wanting to mean it so you feel it Oxygen filling up lungs and Carbon dioxide lightly rolling over tongues Cuz you don't wanna be that one picture hung (in her IP) just like she Really don't wanna be passed around like (L's in the cipher) Cheap but do her job like a fifty cent lighter (Turn chicks like pen and teller) Quick and ready to serve like a TV dinner She just wanna be that winner We all just wanna be that winner We just go about it different ways Thank you
  • So she pray that money will trickle down like cum from lips to chin down her way

    And she kneels, stands, sits, lays in whatever position he paid for

    Cuz she be that whore who's just trying to stay alive just

    Trying to stay alive like

    Maple leaves come winter time like

    Sperm cells trying to fertilize like

    Natives for the love their land shed blood the color of her pride

    Like little girls and little boys who's barren bellies belt out broken cries like

    The words goodbye

  • But she sells for the same exact reason he sell

    Car insurance, water, land, mother earth, a woman's

    A woman's worth, famous faces, as be Nikkeis with fat tongues and laces

    Etymons cookies and cakes, designer labels on Canal Street; fake she

    May not sell seashells by the seashore

    But she be damn sure that she be getting business cuz

    There will always be

    And have always been

    Men who will pay for pussy with no strings attached

    Motherf*ckers be suckers for a purchase with no sales tax

  • Not caring if it burns, itches or stings cause she sing a hustler's lullaby the type that will make a motherf*cker cry game slicker

    Game slicker than middle eastern (all you can?) quicker than she can put a bottle of milk to boil

    She go from tongue

    Gliding across bubble cum pink lip gloss

    To around her boney ankles

    To around her boney ankles licorice g-string like dental floss look

    See how her pride gets tall

    Lost within this space between her body and her newest client

  • So with rusty shovels she digs deep for pleasure that might still be left on her brown rice-colored skin, though

    And never exists being her pale eyes so every night she paints on her disguise her game face and costume red pleather over laced and she grips the bat tight and swings

  • I didn't get everything she said...'newest client' was a little tough for me to make out. This is what I heard, maybe someone could make small corrections? The things in parenthesis I had no clue, so I Mad-Gabbed it =P

    She may not sell seashells by the sea shore

    But she be that poor that she sells self like Chef Boy R D on sale in grocery store shelves or else

    Bread turns stale

    And her baby's tummies is like empty garbage pails
