'I.D.I.O.T.'
(Initiate Dialogue Innovative Of Truth)
@ Raul Cortes Jr. 8-7-19
POETRY is used as a weapon & as therapy..
To understand ourselves or explain our pedigree..
The great debate without the argument..
The great escape without fully revealing what you meant..
The exclamation of getting your point across..
Or a secret diary when you feel life is a pointless cause..
Some are factual & some are opinions..
But the cold truth hardly ever has dominion..
Give me all the world's poetry, & I care not, which poem they choose to display.
Subliminal, lyrical, metaphysical, or an immersed way to say..
It can be put into a book or a song.
I would argue that the greatest poetry is in the book of psalms.
Some poems are free-written & simple.
Some poems employ several techniques & planes of the mental.
Every chart-topping composition & every blockbuster film...
...They begin with us, our words, our thoughts & how we feel.
Some poets get banned from being truthful & some get banned from being explicit.
Some poets live in a lonely world because the narrow path is too illicit.
Some poets have a lot of meaning, some poets have a lot of rhyme.
But no matter how you slice, dice, sacrifice, fight, invite or write it...truth is divine.
When I step outside the poet's office, I seek to live according to what higher-up say.
A poetry-family is a human subdivision, idiots who sharpen each other along the way.
