Slam slam for slamming poetic jams
My rhyming plan for jamming poetic spam
As I stand here and slam
A contradiction scam
We scribe to grab the tram
Recite to have the glam
Light lime to please the fam
So this child will never leave the pram
America now has hacked
A thinking so exact
That to share is to transact
Ra lebala le go reta
Futhi na nok’bonga
Tussen die boom n die bas ja
I don’t believe in competing poesy
Nor the grading of creativity
I play along for productivity
alongside financial activity
Never seeking acceptability
nor industry applicability
I strive to have proclivity
for positivity conductivity
Heartically, Spiritually, Soulfully and Mentally
That’s how to find the confidence
to speak on stage with dominance
& even give yourself compliments
like how I’m articulating with metrical opulence
& have no fear of the consequence
This gift is not mine
it’s the multiverse that’s competent
I’m just a simple minded instrument
So forget the slamming prominence
judges judging consciousness
Be a poetic ideologist
That’s me preaching like an evangelist
while I stand upright and slam dunk a script.
