theres a war going on
in poetry today
between the academics and
the outlaws.
as it stands,
the academics
think they hold it all.
they hold the contracts,
the fellowships,
and the grants.
if they had their way,
theyd drag us in the street
and put a bullet
through our heads.
Time magazine
would even
have the film.
but it doesnt
matter.
what do i have to do
to prove
my point?
sit down
in the middle of the street
and set myself
on fire?
nah!
i dont care enough
to do the deed.
why should i,
when weve already won?
we own the streets.
we own the hills.
we own
the alleys
and the yards.
when i tell it like it is
and they dont agree with me
they call me
a faker,
a liar,
and a fool.
when i tell it like it is
and im on their side
im a genius,
a giant,
a diamond in the rough.
but it doesnt matter.
either way
im going to tell it like it is.
its really simple,
isnt it?
ive got no choice.
if i didnt,
id be just like them.
wouldnt i?
