Description

Welcome to MG's BEST poetry group "LYRICALLY TWISTED" a group aimed at promoting urban poetry with a Def Poetry/ Newyorican style. LT is a place where all active members are given the chance to participate in challenges to be featured POET OF THE MONTH because great poetry shouldn't be hidden in forums, but should be seen, heard and felt. Battles, collaborations, response poems and most all self expressions will be accepted. * WARNING: WE'RE ADDICTIVE.

Please show other poets some love before posting your own work, if not, don't be surprised when your own work is overlooked. Group participation, respect and winning the challenge will ALL be considered when electing POET OF THE MONTH. Originality is respected, and biters will be banned. So with that being said, kick back and let your freestyle flow!

I wonder even as you write on this sheet of paper
Without me, this is merely an empty sheet of paper
You need me as much as I need you
Call me edgy, call me jumpy, but my multi - colored soul
has evolved many changes and tubes
From ballpoints, to feathers, and even to fine line
I've released and imprisoned souls with your John Hancock on the dotted lines
But as time goes by, technology seems to have my ink running dry
These accursed typewriters and stupid keyboards want my job
But this is my life, they just want me alone in this mirage
Before your texting, emailing, and computers
I was held by visionaries, artist, leaders, and rulers
God forbid your laptop crashes
That virus leaves you no choice but to pick me and thats ok, I come in a package
Hey did you forget to do something today? write a note
Forget a voicemail, write a quote
I don't mind the abuse, put down that phone
Why have you all become so accustomed to these luxuries
Can't you see unlike them, I'm a necessity
In a road of coaxed advances
It seems to be drastic that this vehicle of technology always crashes
But I remain faithful to your hand, as well as my form, I remain classic
How can something like me be wrong, when my action is to write
I have been the bridge that connects your mind into everyday life
Spoken through my ink in books, schools, arts and the very fabric that we call life
Jealous? Never, just please keep using me and never stop
I'm your expression, not just a font
After all else fails and you seem to unplug your charger
Continue to press down on me harder
When you realize you have to unplug your computer cord
Remember I'm always around, inside your pocket or drawer
Even at your local store
Insecure?
Not me, just making sure
Because when all else fails
Remember, that the pen is mightier than the sword

Follow me!
The ballpoint leader
The multifaceted speaker
Transmission receiver
God and the Devil deceiver
Critical ink bleeder
Non retreater
Destruction completer

For when I speak
Into loose leaf sheets
The lines tend to creep
Into the paranoid deep
Where illogic and sleep
Get tossed on the heap real cheap
And then toxicity seeps
Upon that pages that leak
So I can't be weak
When I chirp my beak

I know they're out to get me
Inspect this reject this
And then neglect me
Like I was left
On some steps
With a cleft
On both my palettes

I fire my mental disorder
Like rounds from a mortar
But my reasoning is sound
It pounds from the ground
To astound the mounds
And break the barrier bounds

This schizophrenic
Gathers then shatters
The crypto cynics
With spirited lyrics
And preemptive strikes
I seek to ignite
Are for those that recite
An embellished plight
Even though I have no eyes
I have sight
To expand my might
As the hand that holds me
Writes

I'm quite ruthless
Leaving predators toothless
And the arrogant
Accurately useless

Now my writer
He took me to a shrink
Because he thought
That I had him on the brink
Teetering on the edge
Of the sink
Like the missing link
Wink ; ^ ) Wink ; ^ )

The diagnosis
Was Paranoid psychosis
Fueled by a neurosis
Of over grosses
So I left without a prognosis
And returned to burn
Within the margins
Of my suspicious garden
Grown with a delicious jargon
These personal conflicts
Cannot constrict
My pseudo delusional
Confidence with self defense
For the voices
That I hear in my head
Have made choices
And give rejoices
When I get hoisted
Because it means
That I'm about to rip
And flip the script
Of my subconsciouness
With preferred disturbances
Where I hope not to misuse
My lunacy issues on cue
While marching on down
To Paranoia Avenue

My madness demented
My sadness cemented
My gladness prevented
The Writer
He relented

He knows who runs this joint
That's correct it's me again
Mr. Balls Point
With progressive excessive
Aggressive digestive
Selective paranoia directives

When the day arrives
That I can no longer survive
And hack it
I hope they make a Pen
Straight jacket
So that I can attack it

I could have gone on
Forever
But The Writer
He decided
To act clever
And pull my lever...
