It is more like the devolution of American society when a ranting crackhead like this guy is celebrated as a poet. Since he wishes America were a communist country, he should pack his bags for Cuba or Venezuela. Let him "wax poetic" with those fools until they tell him to shut his black mouth.

This country has not produced a poet like this since Ezra Pound!

@nomejodas101 You can try "waxing poetic" back in Havana where you belong, reactionary greaseball.

Black culture is evil.

If I outlive this Negro chap, I hope I am can get to him before he is lowered into the ground. If I did, I would pounce on that Negro chap and proceed to tear up his ghostly arsehole. I would yell, "Who Blew Up Your Arsehole!?" while pounding away until I filled his ghostly aarsehole full of spunk. Boo!

Even a depraved sand monkey like me thinks this shit is drivel. I guess the bar has been lowered in America. Drivel like this is now celebrated as poetry. Allah help you, America.
