A Nation of Fallacious Freedom (& Other Notes of Minor Consequence)

Experimental rhyme......

A Nation of Fallacious Freedom

(And Other Notes of Minor Consequence)

 

I am a cohort of Drew Kazinsky, who is from the Westies

209 and he can make you do the Harry Houdini

If you happen to screw with me

                        I’m just a loser, baby

And so I have decided that possibly, just maybe

Most of my friends in Stockton wish that I was dead because

I think that they hate me

I love them all anyway

Although you people drive me f*****g crazy

That’s the reason for my tooth extractor kit

I just grab you by the lip when you spout off nonsensical bullshit

And I tell you to shut the f**k up but you refuse to quit

I wish I knew the reason because then I’d be rich

Because doesn’t it seem like some folks just love to get hit??

It’s a perverted all the time sick Nancy Boy fetish

That seems to affect many in The World who are sadly afflicted

And frankly, ladies and gents and gents and ladies,

I just don’t get it……

Maybe I am not supposed to, I really don’t know

Sometimes in the murkiness of the deadly gloom,

 I’m afraid to lose control

Of my pen when it slashes the paper

For I don’t really know where it might possibly go

What paths of a madman’s delight,

 It might travel in the dark night

And even though I still feel an urge to not give up and fight,

I’ve learned that I’m a gray man who is neither black nor white

This does not mean my skin, which is thick and not thin

It means I am not of the light

Nor am I from the evil that exists inside of many a man’s heart

I do know the difference between wrong and right

It’s getting harder and harder to live my Life

Among the Freedoms that as an American I feel I deserve

Sometimes I feel guilty when I’m lying alone in my bed

Stoned off the good, green herb

That sends me floating inside of my head

And if I ever find the courage and the nerve

I’d have to admit that our liberty is not guaranteed

When it comes to anything in everyday life

Or even about fire-arms and weed

The typical American does not understand

That contrary to what he may believe

He and his entire family are not nor will they ever be free……..

lots of true statements....good flow. and no, we are not free..

[David Scott]

Sounds like a disillusioned angry pot rant. Ha. Strong words. Some truth mixed in with falacies that have the ring of truth much like our Urban Legends...
Enjoyed it. I have some dental tools you can borrow if you find a tooth to hard to pull. Ha.
Be Well

I agree with an earlier reviewer: I would love to hear this performed. It has just the right amount of heat and punch and spit that I think it would resonate well as spoken word, slam poetry. It does manage to pop off the page (err...monitor) and I got a real feel for the piece. Good on ya.

I loved reading this. Sort of a jolting amusement park ride with a message!

"The typical American does not understand

Couldn't agree more. :)

This I would want to hear performed!
