Array ( [sid] => 76428 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => HEY IT'S THE AMERICAN WAY [time] => 2004-12-19 07:19:50 [hometext] => WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT WRITE "COMMENTS WELCOME" [bodytext] => Isn't music great they got
more freedom in singing
lyric's than I do in poems
today.

Isn't that strange I thought
they were the same?

Both goes with music,

Why can't they both be
viewed in the same way.

I know I complain a lot.

But, Why can't I write about
knocking somebody's butt out.

They sing about it even name
the person and place.

Tell me who I can and cannot
hate.

br />
Yeah it's that time of year
one in four.

Got the political candidate's
saying there's to much hate
in the lyric's and poems
today.

Tough do do.

That's the way America
is today.

That's what we want to hear.
That's what we want to read.

telling me.
I can't write that way.

I'll have you know I write
it anyways.

Look at my poems now
that's a controversy

I got killing.
I got rape.
I got hate.

As long as I put in freedom
of speech they don't pull it

HEY!!

Musical lyric's and poems
what's the difference they
all rhyme pretty much the
same way.

I really thought they were
the same.

To all you poet's have a great day,
And thanks for listening to me
complain again.

Hey it's the American way.

Yes, you have the right to be annoying...
however, in being annoying, anything you
say may be used against you or simply ignored by people who might otherwise become your friends and mentors at YPDC.
