Impostor Posted January 24, 2003 Report Posted January 24, 2003 So, before I got a good idea just right now of what to do for Wyvern's contest, I wrote this. Which, thankfully, I won't need to be submitting. I do have the slight excuse that the genre and theme was basically suggested by Wyvern's CD and are not something know anything about - Something's getting me depressd All this talk about mass des- truction, man-made disasters the world-masters Using civillians for target practice All the while saying "Come on you can trust us" But if the past is any indication they have a contest who can blow up the earth fastess And in the end the cockroaches will outlast us And that's why I call it poetic justice George Bush Jr. Like his daddy but loonier Stomps on afghanis like Eugene on petunias Rumsfeld Rice Ridge and the rest of the warhawks. What about John Ashcroft? He don't give a shit about justice To him, she's just some chick with brass tits Cover her up before the next Great Flood hits He's even worse than the rest of those halfwits And in the end the cockroaches will outlast us And that's why I call it poetic justice Impostor Do you really want a pancake?
Blondemoon Posted January 24, 2003 Report Posted January 24, 2003 hmmm...it could be put to music I think. Because when I started reading it, I suddenly started hearing an Eminem song playing in my head (the one where he used Aerosmith's Dream On, if any of you know it). Something with that kind of format would work nicely, I think.
Rune Posted January 24, 2003 Report Posted January 24, 2003 Oi Political poems are tough to read (well for me, rather) I think im too opinionated. It appears to work well though. Im glad you posted it.
Damon Inferel Posted January 24, 2003 Report Posted January 24, 2003 Ah, something of a rap artist perhaps? I do believe that it was quite interesting, though if you were attempting to use a specific rhyme scheme, you did miss a spot or two. Overall, I would give you my congratulations for crafting something political... even if you do consider it a failure. Adieu.
Vlad Posted January 24, 2003 Report Posted January 24, 2003 Failed? I think not. I agree totally with this.
Wyvern Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 Good poem, Imposter! You're right that the themes of the poem are similar to those of the "Poetic Justice" compilation I put together, and I'm glad you decided to post this even though you won't be using it as your entry. I agree with others that it certainly has a hip hop feel to it, and thought it had a number of witty lines, particularly those referring to lady justice and the contest of "who can blow up the earth the fastest". Well done... Can't wait for your official entry!
