IS POETRY RIGHT FOR YOU? *R.M. Engelhardt

IS POETRY RIGHT FOR YOU?

Even when Death inhabits a poem, he does not own it. He is a squatter. In fact, Death owns nothing.

~ Todd Moore, Outlaw Poetry

---

I love Jesus but I don’t know why
I want to die by suicide

Do you ever go to sleep
& wish you would never
wake up?

Is life just being, well

A bitch?

Sad. Boring. Endless?
Day to day bullshit?

THEN

POETRY
IS
FOR
YOU !

That’s RIGHT!

POETRY !

Poetry Saves
Poetry Lives
Poetry can be funny
Or Dark
Poetry
Is that special
Something that really
Appeals to all of you
Out there constantly asking a
Billion questions
Without actual answers
Poetry provides a glance
Into your super secret
Self, Poetry can be
Exciting Depressing
Meaningful or experimental
Or even about love
And Poetry doesn’t care
Who you are or what you
Believe in as long as you

WRITE!

YES
That’s RIGHT

POETRY
is that creativity behind
The curtains
Of philosophy
And power &
Even religion because
Poetry contains
The most powerful invention
Ever created called
WORDS

YES WORDS

Those things we use
Everyday to swear at
People behind their
Backs or used to express
Those awkward
And annoying
Little things
We call

FEELINGS

So life got you down?

Fuck That!

START WRITING
POETRY

*DISCLAIMER:

Poetry is not an actual or real solution to all your emotional issues and problems. Side effects may include illusions of grandeur, strange beards, beatnik hipster clothing and possibly large amounts of alcohol. Poetry can be addictive and submissions rejective. Poetry may upset certain people who aren’t used to bad rhyming. Poetry belongs to the masses but social media & corporations want you to pay money to share it’s voice which is complete shit. Poetry is not for racists, facists or anyone who is far too stupid to actually write a poem or breathe using hate speech at a kindergarten level. Poetry is not a product but a mystical force that can even quite possibly change the world.

So see your librarian about poetry today!
