A Poem Is - Tank And The Bangas/Jill Scott

作词：Jill Scott

作曲：James Poyser/Jill Scott

Actors act

Poets write poems

It's in the ink for me

Still just feels necessary

Involuntary poems decree scribing

In fact the hateful didn't want us reading or writing

So be careful of those mesmerizing memorizing signifying acts solely

Only for the hands to crash

Popping corn cadences over practiced entertaining shit

Great monologues are cousins to poetry but let that word do its dirty dirt

Write now put it down and let them read hurt

You are not alone

Rebirth she he them begins again is the writing illuminating

Is your thought thought worthy

Without all the personalities and the seasonings a poem is a unsafe plank

A universal deeply personal revolution

A poem is a riot

A good poem will make you sit in your got damn car

By your got damn self and be quiet
