Unknown Laughter for Tristesse

weebop a loo bop a wop zam boom

We interrupt this program for an emergency message from an emergency source of emerging emergencies

So do away with the pleasantries and invade like cavities

The tragedies are anomalies for animalistic enemies

Brevity

Short consortiums of converted cannibals

Holy roller crusaders spot on like coursing cannonballs

Established y’all

Contingencies follow me like echoes

I didn’t know sheep wore pants!

Flashing more a*s than strippers with no class

Maybe I should chuck you some cash

Cuz in prison that means some bigger dude invaded your stash

Maybe it’s not a g swag that makes you walk with a limp but you’re possibly a b***h cuz you were mounted like a gimp

Not to mentioned you maintain enough s**t stains on your drawers to make even infants pause

“Daddy, why that big boy poop his pants?”

Cuz no one ever taught him the difference between being a boy and being a man,

See, real men of the world wrote nursery notes that told symbolic stories

This is my solemn favorite and documents their fall from glory

“Once upon a time, god made copies of copies

And after a thousand copies the ink started to get sloppy

So all the copies mounted armies and farmed seeds like disease

And incestuous design bred retardation amongst the beans

Now they all walk alike and even made gangs

They have handshakes, and call signs, and medallions that hang

The copies made weapons and waged war in their homes

And swore the world was theirs to control

But what they didn’t know

Was no one outside their neighborhood cared

If they lived, or died, or survived or were spared

Eventually they disappeared and not before too long

No one even realized that they were gone.”

 This

The new bible, the stirs of storms and the devils been warned

Our weapons are warm and the faithful sing along

Written out of history, erasing your s**t story

Starting fresh

Spring is here

Birds

Sun

Life

How could I have failed to comment? Probably was feeling at a loss for words at the time I read it.

Here goes: One of the most powerful post-modern rants I've seen on this forum. I love god's copies getting sloppy and the present incestuous designs man has devolved into. The last beautiful line seemed to slip away down the plug-hole... all too late to save the world.

[Poetic Beauty]

This is quite clearly expressed in the Monroe style I have come to love and know. There is no holding back and is stated with emphasis like it should be. I think this maybe my favorite poem that you have written. Not chapter but poem. I don't know how I missed this but I had. This is the last piece of yours until the new comes out but I am glad I waited to read this one. I love the bluntness you write in and speak you mind and opinion without hesitation. No sugar coating for you and I appreciate that more than you will ever know. 100/100

What a creative rant about the declining society we live in. "Copies of copies..." Love that. Great purge at the end. This is one of the most original, yet discernible poems I have come across on here. I was like yelling yeah...you tell 'em!

that says it all right there, they want us to follow their way and make us pay for it... I am sure that i how God intended it... NOT!!

This went from a V speech to a Spike Lee joint to a radiant, insightful mellowing. Toss in a bowl and stir and you have powerfully expressive guacamole. I really like this. It packs a nice punch.

[Robin]

don't you luv it when people say we are destroying nature, when in actuality she is ready to b***h slap us into oblivion ..

The master of rhyme, I praise you.
A gritty rant. My favourite.
