This is not a Poem
June 10, 2013
This is not a poem.
I know it sounds cliche,
But even the word cliche has become
Cliche.
A paradox inevitable.
But I swear on Elvis’s grave,
This is not some shallow attempt of
Attention Seeking / Being ‘too cool to care’ / Cry for help.
I know I contradict myself,
But a hypocrite one must be,
To inspire another to tut and shame,
While teaching the others not to do the same.
Honestly, It’s a series of rants.
There is nothing mean intended to be,
We only mean to be.
This is not a poem, because I say so.

It's very open to interpretation so I hope the readers make whatever they want out of it, as in essence, that's what the poem is about - defining art as however you want to define it.
