E.O.P. (Evolution Of Poetry)

In what way is poetry being murdered? when it was never really dead? why criticize each other's style? when in other poets footsteps we tread By all means please feel free to sew up any gaping wounds you may see and kindly tell us how to heal the damages that have been made to modern poetry Has everyone become so arrogant to believe that their work has no flaws being eaten alive by critical praise as upon our efforts they carelessly gnaw Well what you are seeing is a constant evolution things change learn to accept it there is no resolution We get that not everything we do is going to appeal to everyone but during this evolution we work endlessly in hopes that our words will outshine the sun We always use contraception to avoid impregnating the minds of those with no direction unwilling to take on the responsibility of raising and nurturing the offspring to perfection We don't mean to be burdens we're just addressing what's true we refuse to be surrounded by lies that spark unnecessary feuds Maybe you should try practicing what you preach before even attempting to polish heights you can't reach If you ask us it seems as if nothing but praise is what you seek maybe you're the one who is murdering us with your far from expert critiques You know what they say if it's not broke then don't try to fix it so stop trying to ambush us with your stupid, vengeful wishes All constructive criticism is welcome so speak up loud and clear but criticize accordingly for you are no Shakespeare Don't try to point fingers towards a problem of which you can find no conclusion for there is no problem you just envy the fact that we've started a new revolution By Glenn McCrary © 2010 Glenn McCrary (All rights reserved)
