[@philliptembo8923]

This poem is watching you trying to make sense from this poem

[@drippingpoetry6807]

He reminds me a little of how gifted lil thang writes. She writes some deep pieces... as long as a person experience an emotional response from poetry they did a good job. Poetry is basically making the mind of a person give their body reaction to words being sewn together... Poetry is expressing ones feelings or feelings that others can relate to.. I dont think there are rules to writing poetry... poetry is basically stimulating the feelings emotijns and makes the words feel like a caress to the body and mind.. Gifted lil thang does this.. with all of the pieces I've read.. she just has a gift for writing .. check thia out kzbin.infoCeaMlYEE4X4?feature=share

[@DementedBlitz]

i still remember when i was 8 or so a couple years back watching this man in harare park in zimbabwe, no shoes, or perhaps it was another equally brilliant arist. one of the most impressive pieces i've heard, truley provoking self awareness and conciousness, by the way it ends up just evaluating itself. pretty funny aswell

[@francismuzofa4324]

harare you say

[@DementedBlitz]

@@francismuzofa4324 whats that?

[@francismuzofa4324]

[@Sandramundy]

Muta is the greatest! Lmao! I remember hearing about this barefoot poet walking around in Jamaica when I was a little girl. Then one day I heard his voice on the radio and I stopped in my track. Muta: Ah just me one with mi little buttah pan just a travel the land..........Epic!

this poem shows how people think all the time, it like endless thoughts some times even senseless.I guess that is the reason he said this poem should continue in your minds at the end.

You can't rewrite history. We'll you can but it won't fix anything. If you don't like it, change what causes it. The difference we make, is what fixes societies problems.
