Plain and Simple
I hear my peers complain because my poetry is simple and plain.
I’ve even heard them say that what I write would never see fame.
You know none of that bothers me, not in the lease bit.
People buy what I put in the bookstore, every bit of it.
I don’t write with sophistication only simple equation.
Fellow writers write with the style of a good education
I get my vocabulary from dark allies of the boweries
And the shadows of the streets and lonesome galleries
I don’t write to please the masters of poetic persuasion.
My writings are on the bathroom walls at the train station.
My poetry comes from toil, sweat, beauty and devotions.
I write to escape logic, and express my true emotions
If you like what I write it will most certainly please me.
If you think what I write is beneath you don’t appease me
Most of all I write just because I love to write
And please all of my readers with all my might.
