Born Poet

If the sounds that I was making while I was in my mother's womb could be translated into words they would construct a poem so the construction of poetry in me was in progress before I was conceived the purpose of my poems is to tell the truth on my behalf so when I leave this cruel world I don't want a pastor at my funeral who is going to shot out lies on my behalf instead I want my poems to be recited Rappers could try by all means to destroy poetry even though rap wouldn't exist without poetry so in the roots of rap is where I will forever remain which is poetry poetry is alienated because people can't digest the truth the truth that could nurture their knowledge instead the want lies that bring a smile upon satan's face
