The Dichotomy of Dissent

To write these words and keep to form is wack;
To speak the truth and reap the facts is packed.
The European scheme that shit ain't me;
They rape our lands and feed us poetry.
I spit on norms and spray on boring walls;
Graffiti speaks while ancient poets fall.
I hope this shit don't sound so cynical,
But modern poems seem so fictional.
So script; so coined: the formula like math;
I'd rather deviate the muse from graph.
Mrs. Rowlandson are we but savage beasts?
Salvage salvation: walk down East Los streets.
You'd kill me too, had I stolen your land;
I sacrifice your heART to sun-- my hand.
It does not matter to me if I fall;
This racist system was not built for all.
I sit and laugh at all pretentious chant;
They call it art, to me it seems to lack.
To choose these words and stick to laws is bland;
Instead: free form; free thought; freedom for man.
