Analysis of the "poet's" trick
A pointless expulsion;
An explosion of utterances.
Synchronized not.
Thrown about,
Like sardines
In a surge.
Not cohesive,
But senselessly hurled.
Honey to the ears
And music to the taste buds.
The ignorant tricked;
Praise busted
Foolish lips
And slapped the masters’ faces.
Speak life,
The bizarre,
With substance.
Those immortal words;
The deity
The spirits summoned,
Witnessed the ages passed.
Let hearts
Reminisce
The moments spent.
Breathe life into freedom and things,
Exhausted.
Let the legends live;
shout death to
Senseless arts,
Occupying spaces,
Echoing no graphic tale.
The rhetoric,
The lyricist piped,
Floats free;
forged thoughts
In open gaps.
