58034, take my expectations please
Posted by PG, Mon Jun-19-06 11:35 AM
because they seem to me a crippling disease
causing me to rail against and fail in anxt
seize up from my guts and freeze
even though it runs my blood hot like 3000 degrees
stiffling my appreciation for existance with stipulations against ease
capitulating over my needs
vexed impatience over my expectations
would that I could be rid of them to live and taste life as a refreshing breeze
to turn a hurricane soul and meet her again whole
instead I become unhinged to be opened because
failed expectations are like locks without any keys.
58035, this corperal existance is like a broadway show of the whole

you know the musical starring fools and all that serves no use at all except the box office and the curtain call
you get hurt and fall
just desserts the order tall
bust in spurts the little death so small
something to taste and enjoy while before the big one we stall
Death destined and written in our intestines like liquid investments
of memories and thoughts consumer testements to the value and verity of our own self assesments
in others minds held against their own wealth of estimates
you exist longer than you live and somehow you want those you love to live on and sustain your life and memory with only the best of it's blessed bits...
... and yet there always is at least some messed up shit/

"Please" in the title of a poem(or even a rap) is off-putting. It makes one think you are begging the audience to read it, which never bodes well of the author. Anxt is spelled angst, I assume you know this, and just added the X for a 2006 EXTREME DEW effect.

{I'm sorry if I'm a sarcastic bitch, but I honestly think my critique can be somewhat helpful}

I liked how you used a lot of three-syllable words for rhythmic effect of the poem. The point of good rap, song lyrics, or poetry are words used most effectively to evoke a desired feeling within the reader/or listener- IMO. Unfortunately, the feeling these words give me are---
"I thought big words would make this sound more important." It's only because the words don't feel organic to the emotional current of the poem. Every time you write, you should ask yourself why must these words be shared, now? And if you don't have a good answer you probably are just ranting and/or full of BS. I know all too well.

The first line is definitely not grammatically correct in any way shape, or form, which is fine if you have a friggin Pulitzer. For anonymous, unestablished "word artist", it makes people stop paying attention when they lose track of the flow because of grammar errors.

ummm I do appreciate an honest critic though.. I want to ask what you thought the peice said? and if there was anything you liked about it?

"And every one must be awakened, and everyone must be destroyed....And, once he is through, things again will assume their proper aspect; he will se that mere illusion were the things that seemed so real, and he will be fortified against the new trials that await him."
