Poetry's for slackers,
Who have much time to spare,
Poetry's for the selfish,
Who rhyme too much to care

Poetry is ugly,
You write things to complain,
Poetry is ego,
Compliments so vain

Poetry is simple,
The words are dense and flat.
Poetry is hiding,
Words that dress the fact

Poetry's an abyss,
You enter but can't leave,
Poetry's persuasion
Paint pictures to deceive.

Poetry is leaving,
Abandon friends and foes.
Poetry is dying,
Blood as dark as rose.
