Sha'Ntez Jefferson Poet Free verse

A Warm Welcome For the Ridiculers

They fear what they do not understand
but without understanding I fear no man

They subdue what they cannot naturally conquer
so I turn the tables put them in a locker

They doubt what they cannot control with aggression
I removed all the clips from their smith and wessons

They hate what they cannot possess or call liar 
I confront them with truth and watch them perspire

They add height to the obstacles they cannot hurdle
but I leap right over and scrape not a knuckle

They attempt to build walls in front of us all
their bricks are unleveled and gravity calls

Justcallme Britt June 20, 2012 at 9:24 AM GREAT title, dear Shantez! Every single line has immense density and this one is in my fav's <3 Justcallme Britt June 20, 2012 at 10:18 AM A starts a start. Do SOMETHING is the only advice I can really give you. You said you don't know where to start so I figure you HAVE ideas just can't pick which one to proceed with. You impress me more with each write. I don't appreciate BLAND comments because that doesn't help me improve so I wouldn't do that to any other poet. We're each other's audience! Sha'Ntez Jefferson June 20, 2012 at 9:34 AM thanks brittany tryin to work out the kinks in my writing but dont know where to start
