Poem Title:
Poem
I pattern my rhymes to relate to the divine plans of the maker/ Marvel at how my nouns and verbs seem to dance on the paper/ Advanced orators don’t hesitate to drop the prepositions/ And don’t use words unless you know the proper definitions/ Create metaphors and similes to enhance the verbal imagery/ Discard any absurd words that disturb the symmetry/ The energy used in your verses should be used in your chorus/ And don’t be ashamed to use a dictionary or view a thesaurus/ The law is never to bite a rhyme cause you’ll face relentless hell/ Always practice your elocution when the opportunity presents itself/ And defend yourself whenever you’re faced with instigation/ Constantly write what you see. Don’t waste the inspiration/ Some misuse their muse and write pieces that barely move/ Find topics in your daily news or try views that’s rarely used/ Don’t choose to follow pop kids in their quest for tall pockets/ Their life is all profits as they digress to false prophets/ Claim to be discerning entities without learning empathy/ Requiem for fallen emcees as their bodies burn in effigy/ My recipe for writing lyrics of all classic varieties/ Mix in skill and honesty and add small dashes of irony/ Don’t lie to me about packing heat for handling stress/ Damsels in undress and how your style’s damaging reps/ Can I suggest you keep it real and spit I can feel/ Ink scripts with writing skill and flow sick with mic appeal/ Don’t get discouraged for fear that all your peeps will hate it/ This is the primary obstacle on the road to being creative/ And be original, whether you’re a warrior or a pacifist/ Find your own niche in the realm of emceeing and master it/ / There’s 7 billion stories in this world all ya gotta do is tell em….
