Short Slam

Slam is the creative expression of oppression thoughts gathered from anguish and depression energy being conveyed through words so that the human being may be heard the release of energy in an unorthodox way slam expresses what the soul cant say the problem with slam is that many times it points a finger and negative thoughts should have been left to linger the cycle of energy that slam evokes is sometimes a cycle that is slammed down our throats if words could be swallowed then slam would be it and if poetry flowed like water slam would be thick this is my very first slam and im "proud" of it because this slam is expressing how slam doesnt fit :) ...........i feel like slam in my opinion releases a deceptive energy back into the world a false sense of love i feel like slam induces guilt and fear. but of course what do i know im just a human

Uh oh, a new word for me and so well described in this verse. I think it can be applied in many places today but best of all "goveernment". We do it so well! :)

That's why they call me J Slam, but I'm no Popye guy, but I am what I yam. If slam poetry is done with honesty it can be worth all the drama. For instance, I would much rather teens be doing slam poetry than pulling guns on each other. Good stuff John.

I very seldom enjoy Slam, John. But this is enjoyable as it kinda slams, slam...negative personal kind. I don't mind slamming a politician that's the opposite of what he promised to be... does this make any sense at all? Idk but that's just me. Good job with this, though! Love, annalise
