This sounds pretty good when 'Prayer' by Burial is on in the background.

@GarIicjr I can't even begin to describe how angry this makes me. Right, because the main reason poets pursue their arts is for the huge fucking market out there for writers. Because women can't slam as well as men can. Because the fact that she IS a woman make her words any less powerful. You should be fucking ashamed of yourself.

@fcbarca10fj i find it appalling and sick that you would disgrace such an ancient art that his been around for centuries upon centuries. i find it appalling that your lack of taste would compel you to watch poetry videos and decide to comment due to the lack of having something else to do. i find it appalling that you would call poetry pointless, when it is in fact the pencils that remain pointless from the effort it takes to write a poem such as this. do not EVER say poetry is pointless.
