Laws Of Poetic Property ~NEW EVOCA

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.

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.

THis is brilliant ! Loved it !

good s**t doll. this is some of the best stuff i've ever read from you. reminds me of when you were on your poetic grind back on elite. i'm still the greatest though...

[Lola Nation]

Free the word!

Girl this flows! I love it, I can't wait to hear you read it.

[J. Alfred Prufrock]

i agree with "the verse" below, you are very beautiful. loved the poem as well and agree whole-heartedly with the powerful sentiments behind it. take a look at "We have began to see"" and see if "we have begun to see" feels right. i think it's more proper. i really enjoyed this. thanks for sharing. cheers

[Dan Giacobbe]

That first stanza is breathtaking. It really makes me feel like I'm a part of something new and exciting, even though I'm not a poet. I really wish I was, because what's happening here may be something special, and I'd love to be a part of that. You keep on speaking and I'll be listening.

Word. However, if anyone tries to take my words, I may just take their life. :-D

[Ian]

excellent. and also i totally agree wit u

[Cdnsurfer]

Well, if that isn't a call to arms I don't know what is. I did enjoy this piece. I enjoyed the rhythm and the honesty in the words. Very, very well done. Make me want to take up placards and chant in the street. Actually, maybe I'll do that. Probably be arrested. Cheers! Rob

[R. MonaLeza]

LiLi, what can I say woman. You've got me fired up again. I've been blank for a while now and reading your words, hearing your voice, the conviction, the message, the lesson, it's all very profound and needs to be said. I've followed your model to better myself with the spoken word, you know you're my guru! Thanks for putting it out there. Some will get it, some won't but we will Write the Future, because that's what it's all about. I'm in awe. This is your best in my book! Keep it comin', keep it comin'!

[Conspiration Libre D'es..]

Yes, lets all get together and write the future. At the moment it's laying idle, these kind of words are just what we need to add stimulation to tomorrows expectations. Loved it!
