The modern poet
Should not curse
Should not swear
Be highly sophisticated
Academic & formalist
With words of magnificence
That elude the poor
Common language
Of man
Fuck that
Fuck you &
Fuck your
Grandiose
Ideals your
Boring white
Throne of
Complancency
Which puts
Generations
To sleep
I don't write
For you &
Your ivory tower
And your false
Plastic flowers
I write
For the
Truth &
The horror
Of our
Existence
In a broken
World that's
Been fucked
In the ass
By the monsters
Of kingdom
Come who
Don't give
Two shits
About your
Words
This
Is
War
R.M. Engelhardt - Troy, New York
