PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The academia

is so pathetic

It’s all a bunch

of ass kissers

and cocksuckers

and me, hey, I might

I say I might

be willing to kiss your ass

if you make it worth my while

but to offer me publication

only if I subscribe

Well, how can I truly

feel a sense of achievement

under those terms?

Maybe other lesser poets

will feel good about themselves

but me I’d rather blow off

the whole procedure

and run out to the bar

I only want glory

if it’s truly earned

thru the quality of my work

and the purity of my vision
