Yes
I’m uneducated
punktuated by subversion
My verses run grades in reverse
I see only art in my continuum
I am averse to your curriculum
There’s no path for me in math
No rhythm in my algorithm
No symmetry in my poetry
I bastardize
established linguistics
I do it
Just to smite the elitist erudite
My philosophy is detached from your morphology
My beleaguered elocution
poisons Ivy league institutions
I am an alumnus
from the college of sacrilege
This is the narrative of a native
in class with the iconoclasts
We block the conjecture
I put a sock in the lecturer; Leave
’em annoyed
As i rock to the literature of pink floyd
I’m tryin’ to hold this mic, but my fingers keep slippin’
like Sigmund Freud
maybe you should do this to a rap beat 🙂

“imagination is more important than knowledge!” Said my man Albert Einstein.
This poem proves it…oh, the places you can go with a creative streak….
As a side note, I love Eminem ( I was infatuated with him as a young girl…odd,I reckon, but true)
Second, you need to go to an open mic slam poetry night. I’ll be in the front row cheering you on 😀
This flows beautifully…love the defiant, definitive stance you take…you prove that you are unstoppable here….Wilde xo

I would not be your only fan. Hardly possible with your ability to leverage linguistics into lyrical lessons…semantics aside, I’d be your BIGGEST fan…😉Cheers! Wilde.

Yes, Sigmund should’ve given up smokin’.
A.G., your poem took me to the dark side
of the class room.
Where class is punctuated by elitist perversion.
I love the spirit of rebelliousness in this poem.

Great passion and punch, and you’re right in the fact that verse/ poetry (and even good prose) needs to be felt first in order to convey its emotion. Trouble is sometimes this is ‘educated’ out of people in favour of rigidity.
Fine writing, AG.

I keep imagining this spoken, wishing you’d included audio because the voice inside my head isn’t gangsta enough to do it justice.
I can imagine you reading this at home though and I know it would be brilliant, the words alone take care of that.
