Laws Of Poetic Property ~NEW EVOCA

Laws Of Poetic Property ~NEW EVOCA

A Poem by Li Li
"

Self recorded.. not perfect.. but.. still a great creative outlet. :o)

"



 

 

From this day forward
All violators will be prosecuted
For all the alphabetic individuals
They've prostituted
For personal gain
All pens will be confiscated
And held as evidence
Under poetic domain
And we will retain
Strict levels of surveillance
To ensure that all measures
Are being taken
To prevent
Any further damage
To the poetic name

Throughout
The past decade
We have begun to see
More and more poetic exploitation
And decided to form a foundation
In hope that inspiration
Can once again be restored
We can't afford
To be losing minds
To such demeaning material

Therefore
To take action
We have decided to
Write the future
For all of those
Whom under us
Will carry on the tradition
Of rhythm and rendition
Putting forth nothing
But highbrow compositions
Completely supportive
Of what poetry and spoken word
Is meant to be

I hereby decree
That poetry
Will not come to be
Something dead
The time has come
We surpassed
All the intellectual discrimination
Creating a new rhythmic generation
To better the welfare of lingual affect
We have the right to protect
All the words that stabilize our creativity
And have seen too much negativity
Surround the basis of what we choose to represent

We ask for all to write in compliance
With our alliance
As we try to make the poetic world
A better place
And hope that the past illusionists that called themselves poets
Can be replaced
With those more worthy of the cause

Let us
Together
Write the Future

i REALLY liked the first stanza.
All pens will be confiscated
And held as evidence
Under poetic domain
And we will retain
Strict levels of surveillance
To ensure that all measures
Are being taken

Any further damage
To the poetic name


great poem, otherwise. it reminds me that some people...i guess they dont know where the boundary lies for writing trash or treasure. no self-control really and all their arguments are weak.

I 'm in compliance with your alliance! lol. This was an enjoyable read. And i don't know if it was intentional or not, but your reading voice sounded like a police, sending out a strict warning to everyone under the sound of your voice. Nice drop woman!

this is great darlin!! :) be proud of this one.... you made statements while remaining poetic and quite fantastically choosing your words.

"All violators will be prosecuted
For all the alphabetic individuals

"Creating a new rhythmic generation
To better the welfare of lingual affect
We have the right to protect
All the words that stabilize our creativity "

Amen and Alright. Although I believe the truest always shine through, it just seems we must wade through so much to find the pearls. :)
