A Statement

quote the raven never more/

severed heads, bring the gore/

disrespect? i find no more, then in the haters, hates a chore/ 

heart beats slowly under floors/ 

opportunity not stopped by screen doors/ 

my style varies, words i w***e/ 

battles teach, the haters roar/

poetry's not what makes me snore/ 

but your lack of cultures got me tore/ 

Poe to Pac and back once more/ 

if you judge you'll never soar/ 

no birds to quote, cant make no noise/ 

maybe its the rhymes, i wonder, so i play on words  no more/ 

sentences of emotion withe no twist, 

Oliver himself wonders if the shoes will be filled correctly or be left feeling to big .

how can one judge me when his own writing the bird refuses to quote? 

i faced EG in a battle and yous decided  it was a disgrace to the art.

lyrically it was on point, i question how you would have fared in his place. 

A contest held in regards to the legends, idolized in this game, that was the point.

who the f**k are you to decide whats poetry and whats not?

words written on a page, your soul spared for all to witness? 

your souls corrupt and infected with the sickness. 

downplaying a bunch of kids who are refining there craft. 

because you don't agree? 

so for the last time i ask,

would the raven even bother to look at you and flutter his wings? 

ill take this time to quote Tupac, someone who gave no f***s. a legend of rap, and a poet in his own right. id like to say poetry isnt about what you think is romeo and Juliet, hamlet, or any other god damn thing youd like to add in. its a f*****g expression of ones self threw words, and the people that disagree are them self closed minded wana be poets.. how can you tell someone they are writting out of there league when you yourself dont get to determine what there league is..  so im taking back EG TENS apology to Emily, SoultrySoul, and Mattavilli.. there is no need to say sorry, nothing was done wrong and to all 4 of you i aplaude and encourage yous too keep practicing and dont let anyone tell you what league u write in. you define yourself and that statement is in its truest form when regarding poetry 

THE ROSE THAT GREW FROM CONCRETE 

Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete? 
Proving nature's law is wrong it 
learned to walk with out having feet. 
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams, 
it learned to breathe fresh air. 
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared. 

Tupac Shakur

Another bold one! Cool words, man!

[annalysiar]

Bold as ever blitzed. And true once again. A craft is a craft a give in ones hands others have no right to judge. Great write

[silent poet]

So I play on words no more' this is a great piece!

[Frozen Eyes]

I love the boldness in your work and yeah i totally second the thought
"who the f**k are you to decide whats poetry and whats not?"
Thanks for sharin :)

[BLitZeD]

[Emily]

Well done!!

Your work has a form of revolt
Which is a sign of great amounts of emotions
That is beautiful
Sometimes i feel i can sense a sculpture when reading your work
Rough edges
fine lines
that you create
out of raw rough material
maybe you get a couple of cuts

but oh my
the result is so unique

People write what they know, but others often judge from that angle also instead of expanding their minds to the new. As a member of Creed, I had now problem with the slam contests, but people have to understand what slam is. They have to see its roots are not in Whitman, or Shelley, but in artists such as Tupac and Eminem, both of which may have been a traditional English teacher's nightmare, but are the voice of a disenfranchised people. That is greatness.
Now I didn't sign up for battles because I know that is not where my poetic forte lies, but never would I demean those who participate. By the way do we have Dante in the group?. I think he could give you and EG a run for your money. Keep at it. Almost everyone in this mess was on my friend list, but maybe I just gravitate to the different and eclectic. You have found your voice, so stick with it. Explore with it; be creative. Your audience will find you.

the battle part was only a fraction of it. its mostly about the Poe vs Shakespeare writes. point is i feel there are no limits to how you write, once you start cemsoring yourself because of other how other peoples will react. thats when you should stop writing in my opinion. im sure at the time there was people that thought poes work was to much and didnt like it, so if he changed to satisfy everyone we prob wouldnt know his name. so i just wanted to make a tatement about the situation :) .... I just encountered Dante the other day through Dan actually. been busy so im about to go check him out now. not sure if hes in group, EG would know. like i said before, I welcome all challengers haha. no really tho battling i find is a very good exercise and its fun as hell doin it with new people, so i would be down. thanks 4 your time reading and commenting, always a pleasure

[JayceeC]

Look at some of his earlier poetry. It's definitely more slam style. He writes in a wide variety of things and styles. Interesting guy.

Poe to Pac? Excellent, 5 stars! Blitzed, at first when you appeared on my radar screen, I was confused about how to interpret your writing. But with the last 3 or 4 that you've sent my understanding has elevated and I am now entrenched in my feelings about your writes.
First of all I liked the poetic flourish of the slash at the end of each line in the first stanza...effective and thought provoking. After that, I'm not sure of who EG is and the battle of which you speak, but the second stanza's write and message kicks f****n' A*S, for real. In the third stanza you mention Sultrysoul and mattavelli, two of my valued friends. It reads as if you are defending them, and if so I am WAY on board with that!!!
Blitzed, your writing skills have reached a point at which you should have publishers writing to YOU and making you offers. I'm not saying that to kiss your a*s, I never say anything to ANYBODY to kiss a*s. Just saying...your writing has graduated to a higher plane. Ride it really fast and hang on...but ride it REALLY F****N' FAST!! take care...dan

[BLitZeD]

thank you sir, very much appreciated. just wanted to make a statement about a situation lol. glad you enjoyed it. and i think you actually commented on the battle i was speaking of in this one.

[dan]

Thanks but I'm no sir, just an middle-aged guy tapping at a keyboard. thx...dan

[wordman]

a thought provoking write,life is funny i guess

There’s gon’ be some stuff you see that’s gonna make it hard to smile in the future. But through whatever you see, through all the rain and the pain, you gotta keep your sense of humor, you gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit.— Tupac Shakur

I admire and respect your bold Statement, a true grit of raw courage
With an upper cut to boost! Well said, thanks"
