I Want Good S**t

A poem for consumers tired of hype and hucksters

I'm not falling for the come on
You're trying to pass off
Stop blowing sunshine up my a*s
It only makes me cough
You slapped some lipstick on a pig
and tried to make it fit
I don't want your cheap knockoffs
Cause I want good s**t

I didn't fall off a turnip truck
Don't pull some line on me
Your mouth is full of promises
like everything is free
You talk game you can't deliver
you shady little twit
Don't bore me with your sob story
Cause I want good s**t

Dazzle me with presentations
You won't get anywhere
Promise me all stars and rainbows
and I won't bloody care

You're nothing but a charlatan
Selling off snake oil spit
You can't play me for a patsy
Cause I want good s**t

I know you're lying out your a*s
Cause your mouth is moving
You try shifting my opinion
But it's not improving
Pack up your dog and pony show
It's time for you to split
Not falling down your rabbit hole
Cause I want good s**t

i haven't stopped in to read your poetry lately. nothing personal, just haven't been here much. but i gotta tell you how much i liked this one. your skills are improving and you're not losing any of the bite that makes you 'you'. nice writing!

I like the poem. I receive 10 calls a day. Low interest money, cheap cable. College for the kids on payment. I tell them leave me alone. I'm too old to be a fool no-more. Of course I want some good s**t too. Just a few years on the coastline with beer and no place to go. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

This actually made me think of a quote from a song titled "Starve An Artist, Cover Your Trash" by Every Time I Die. Multiple quotes, actually. One goes: "Just because it's personal doesn't mean it's not cliche." The other goes: "an empire falls but the cockroaches stay to breed. Is it superior genes, or won't
death collect such awful things? Yes it's garbage, but does that mean that it's
art?"
You got your point across well, everybody wants good s**t and not the mediocre quality that comes from an artist that can't even formulate a good lie. Well done
