Poetry's Defense
Complicated...
Degraded...
Debated...
Mandated...
It's time to overthrow complication
To cease the reign of complex words' occupation
Million dollar syllables will no longer make up what is considered deep
Shakespeare-like riddles are banned from "classical legends" to meet
Non-breathing, abstract matter can, now, die from being personified
It's time to stop the degrading of such sweet expression
Give me your confession
Promise your words' digression
Because until then Poetry will be in depression
Notice these rhymed conceptions
See their unnecessary communication
Realize that your intellectual, finger-snapping speaking is a deception
I pray you rehabilitate this addicting obsession
It's time to have your sentence debated
For your talent, you've faked it
Some judge that individual words is what makes Poetry
That may be true, but rare writing does not make it hard to beat
In effect of you saying what people can't comprehend
Doesn’t mean it's deep
This...you may not understand
So ridiculous...it's going over your head
It's time to enforce what is mandatory
Required for you to study this written directory
An obligation for you to sacrifice your mislead words of feigned innocence
Necessary to fight the war to rekindle what is left in Poetry's defense
With my mind's passion, I can only have it stated...
Words:
No more complicated...
X - out the degraded...
Cease the debated...
And do what is mandated.
