Here's Some Ideas

What if rebellion

Is chopping off your purple hair
And pouring the color
Into a polo
Chi straightener
Speaking through your nose
        yaaas.

                       ?

                                  What if freedom

Is saying the n-word without batting an eyelash
Because political correctness is for the liberal snowflakes
While driving around in Daddy’s Mercedes
Waiting on the world to just

Like

    get rid of the trash


                          ?

                                   What if love
was sewn into the dollar sign
Every time 
we pick it up
We feel a little more alive

                          
                           ?


                                    What if truth
Just a word, a coooooncept, man
Another figment of the imagination

                                          Does
                          Not 
                                      
                                          Exist

                           ?

                           
              it is

thank you for sharing your idea. Daisy,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) HAPPY HOLIDAYS. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
