    Poetry you say they're not,
    That's why I call them a thought,
    Something to work the mind,
    Yet meaning from them some will find,
    It's about every day,
    What people may do or say,
    Or about a time of the year,
    Maybe even what some just fear,
    To write this I need not think,
    They come to me in a blink,
    On the page my pen will flow,
    What's on my mind then will show,
    It could be of something great,
    Or maybe something that I hate,
    It's an opinion none the less,
    How I feel you need not guess,
    It's all here in black and white,
    Clear as the words I write,
    If there is something that you don't get,
    I really don't give a xxxx,
    No sleep will I loose,
    If you I can't amuse,
    Pass them by is all I can say,
    I didn't ask you to read them anyway!

    Unfortunately, poetry is often perceived as - or reduced to - an exercise in rhymes; often, I get the same impression even when reading renown "poets."
    My thoughts too… but what pisses me off is the public (I'd rather call them 'masses' who are usually ignorant) going crazy, being fascinated and mesmerized by these kind of 'poems' and pseudo-poets (we have got some too). And thanks to some thick-skulled buffoons who are incapable of independent thought, this kind of 'poetry' is gaining popularity and will be applauded long time in the name of neologism, distinction, 'class' and…


    Do you think that, soon, we will be offered poetry about a car wash or "Mac-cheese" with or without extra ketchup????
    I wouldn't be surprised. And I'm sure it will have a public.

Similarly, Classical Music of the last couple of centuries is (almost) nothing but exercises in Harmony and musical arrangements with, maybe, 5% of music???

    Préface
    La poésie contemporaine ne chante plus….Elle rampe
    Elle a cependant le privilège de la distinction….elle ne fréquente pas les mots mal famés….elle les ignore
    On ne prend les mots qu'avec des gants: à "menstruel" on préfère "périodique", et l'on va répétant qu'il est des termes médicaux qui ne doivent pas sortir des laboratoires ou du Codex.
    Le snobisme scolaire qui consiste, en poésie, à n'employer que certains mots déterminés, à la priver de certains autres, qu'ils soient techniques, médicaux, populaires ou argotiques, me fait penser au prestige du rince-doigts et du baisemain

    Ce n'est pas le rince-doigts qui fait les mains propres ni le baisemain qui fait la tendresse
    Ce n'est pas le mot qui fait la poésie, c'est la poésie qui illustre le mot.
    Les écrivains qui ont recours à leurs doigts pour savoir s'ils ont leur compte de pieds, ne sont pas des poètes, ce sont des dactylographes

    Le poète d'aujourd'hui doit appartenir à une caste
    à un parti ou au Tout-Paris
    Le poète qui ne se soumet pas est un homme mutilé
    La poésie est une clameur. Elle doit être entendue comme la musique. Toute poésie destinée à n'être que lue et enfermée dans sa typographie n'est pas finie. Elle ne prend son sexe qu'avec la corde vocale tout comme le violon prend le sien avec l'archet qui le touche
    L'embrigadement est un signe des temps. De notre temps
    Les hommes qui pensent en rond ont les idées courbes
    Les sociétés littéraires sont encore la Société
    La pensée mise en commun est une pensée commune
    Mozart est mort seul, accompagné à la fosse commune par un chien et des fantômes
    Renoir avait les doigts crochus de rhumatismes
    Ravel avait une tumeur qui lui suça d'un coup toute sa musique
    Beethoven était sourd
    Il fallut quêter pour enterrer Bela Bartok
    Rutebeuf avait faim
    Villon volait pour manger
    Tout le monde s'en fout
    L'Art n'est pas un bureau d'anthropométrie
    La Lumière ne se fait que sur les tombes

    Nous vivons une époque épique et nous n'avons plus rien d'épique
    La musique se vend comme le savon à barbe
    Pour que le désespoir même se vende il ne reste qu'à en trouver la formule.
    Tout est prêt: les capitaux
    La publicité
    La clientèle.
    Qui donc inventera le désespoir?


    Avec nos avions qui dament le pion au soleil. Avec nos magnétophones qui se souviennent de " ces voix qui se sont tues ", avec nos âmes en rade au milieu des rues, nous sommes au bord du vide, ficelés dans nos paquets de viande, à regarder passer les révolutions
    N'oubliez jamais que ce qu'il y a d'encombrant dans la Morale, c'est que c'est toujours la Morale des autres.
    Les plus beaux chants sont les chants de revendications
    Le vers doit faire l'amour dans la tête des populations.
    A L'ECOLE DE LA POESIE ET DE LA MUSIQUE ON N'APPREND PAS
    ON SE BAT!

    Today we start from scratch,
    Throw out all that was attatched,
    The past is now way behind,
    The future is what we need to find,
    Not to worry about what used to be,
    From now on it's you and me,
    Two people joined as one,
    To share a life thats honest and fun,
    To be the best that we can,
    And on our own we will stand,
    Every time that you feel weak,
    I'll give you a hug and kiss your cheek,
    No reason to ever dispare,
    When you need me I'll always be there,
    To most this may be but a dream,
    But for us this is what love will mean!

    [QUOTE=mrhobbs;173050]I come home but nothing looks the same,
    I couldn't help her so I felt lame,
    It started as a feeling when I opened the door,
    Wow that was insane, nice.

    I love poetry here is one of mines

    True Beauty In Insanity

    As thy mind deludes to the present reality
    The child of youth is destroyed from inner purity
    Lies are painted to furnish the surfaced appearance
    Materialism achieved to cover the inner failures
    The pure minds faced to live in the world of the insane

    As men of power are created from there inner weaknesses
    And the pure set to walk the paths of such
    As the world continues the chaotic cycle
    God sets His eyes upon the abidance of humane emotions
    The destruction of the hands He created for such creatures

    Tears in rain is what He brings
    Unable to comprehend our reach for vice
    Unable to understand the destruction we search to achieve
    Tears collapse in pure pearls, as human suffering is piloted in parades of sinister
    Failures of human souls to achieve purity
    As the destined evils sets growth of our next generation

    Fears travel the eyes of mothers
    As sons take the tools created by man and destroy
    Hands of chapped minds set the foundation of thoughts
    As the youth are set to achieve the empty reflections
    Thoughts left by lost generations before
    Whose paths are left un-searched as their lives.

    I wash my hands from such sins
    And pray to thy Lord to forgive me in this
    For human flaws and devastation positions
    And deceived minds walk these paths of unending obliteration
    To brake the work that God’s hands Has set
    “Forgive my Lord for they know not what they do”
