The Ranting Liguist

 

 

 

For the curious

Here's to the oblivious

Jus for the set

Fiber optic direct

I'm a sedative in my dialect

Slow your thinking

And expand on grammaticism

Spit my intuition

Too many speak fanaticism

Sometimes I think to myself

What's this s**t they spittin

 

 Governmental

To expose the influential

Cast the vote place the note

And show the locusts exponential

Financial suicide potential

As simple as

The dark seeming dismal

Complex like the light

Beaming with potential

As unalike as day and night

Accept for when life dismisses you

 

 I've spent too many dreams beamed

On the mental color schemes

Of too many loose seams

So I'd prefer you explain

Your true poetic means

Sorry if sometimes

I play with chainsaw themes

Cuttin down sentence structure fiends

Where's the bat

I'm next to swing

With the voice of a scorpion king

 

 Just one of many lyricists

Combined with a linguist

As long as my art persist

Served with a realistic twist

The thoughts that set the mind adrift

And cause egos to shift

Conjuring up lyrical bliss

Painting my reading list

Colorfully I exist

Upon a clear canvas

Exotic in my vividness

[Siddartha Beth Pierce]

I love how you paint yourself - the brave way in which you place yourself forward. Go ahead - chop those words out and to pieces, that is what we are here for. Well penned. Quite compelling. Your original voice shines through in this work. Thank you.
Light,

formidable flow in this one and some awesome wordsmithing "Sorry if sometimes

I play with chainsaw themes

Cuttin down sentence structure fiends"

I really liked that one....

[An Ordinary Woman]

Very cool, straight up, cut to the chase rant. I enjoyed it as always. I can't ever get the rhyme thing myself so I'm always impressed when I see it so smoothly as this. Very cool and good job!!

[Jacqueline]

Your flow is on point as always, lyrically messaging readers' brains while giving us food for thought. Your 'rant' is focused and direct-not splitting in random directions. I dug it ;-)

[Tim F*****g McCormack]

i liked it. but be careful with rap, you gotta be considerate of the way the words and the rhyme scheme flows audibly as well.

[Rain]

I'm not a rap fan, but I was feeling like ine while I read it..PLUS, it made sense. lol. Great Job. Rain..

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

Nicely done, well thought out piece. Really enjoyed this..although i think i noticed a few errors, spelling, other than that Great write.

[Natalie C]

Ha love the word choice and hey, never let anyone put you down for being you. That is what separates every one of us from being part of the rest (If that makes any sense at all)
Your closing lines said it all...

Colorfully I exist
