Literary people don’t like sonnets
I’m like, fuck that, this is motherfucking
music, this shit is deeper than poems,
but it’s poetry too, ***************

They say its reminiscent of high school
well, my *****, I went to a high school
that smelled like Black & Milds and asbestos,
there were shootings like every other year

But I learned sonnets in my magnet class
I didn’t learn anything else, so this
is what I write. I don’t write to be hip
I write because my students break my heart

Not to be read, I write to be heard, *****
This is ***** verse, I’m fire and you Milton.

*Ghostface Killah, or something along those lines**
**Or Masta Killa, who’s mad underrated
