Poetry By Matt.S Poetry is a connection with one’s inner person It is the way of expressing one’s personal ideals A way to show beauty when others see ugly A way to feel pleasures where others feel only pains A way to open the mind and experience the world in a different sense A Leaf in some minds is a beautiful thing While in others it a menace that clutters the yard While still others take pity on it, saying it has lived a sad & painful life But the point of writing about a Leaf isn’t to tell you how miserable it’s life is But to show that each person has a different opinion In poetry it doesn’t matter what others think because they’re not writing it, you are! This means you can for once tell your side of the story and not have to worry about what others think Sociality has drugged us to believe what its says is right and our own thoughts are not important Sociality says growing up in the hood makes you a bad person Sociality says being black means you’re going to kill the dozens This is not always the case Not every black person wants to kill people and just because they have been around Guns doesn’t mean they going to shoot up a school If I could paint sociality it would be painted with a big ugly devil with hundreds of people in it’s hands, and a world of slaves bowing at it’s feet so they won’t become it’s next meal like those who have refuse and resisted. If people would just open their minds and take a second look Before listen to this devil then maybe just maybe they’ll see the world isn’t all that bad In fact it’s quite beautiful once you get pass the human devastation If could paint the planet we call home I would paint a white swan in a beautiful lake A crystal clear lake, full of life but is being polluted by an oil rag of fear and carelessness A small boy standing up to the big bad bully knowing he is going to get hurt But does it anyway because he thinks is right This is how I would paint planet Earth Poetry is a connection with one’s inner person It is the way of expressing one’s personal ideals And that’s all I have done Poetry By Matt.S |
