Slam Poem

Not very good at this poem stuff...but I decided to write about our world's war on drugs because I lost a friend due to this awful problem in society, and it makes me think about her everytime drugs is brought up in situations. 

 

I have no reason to see you anymore

You shut the blinds, closed me out, then shut the door

How could you let this come between us?

Betrayal is always sad
Needless to say what you could have had
Of course you have it still
But based on a lie that you always will
Repeat till it clings true
I've been lied to by the likes of you
From that point of view
I get the privilege to enlighten you

You lied to me when we were at our strongest

I can't believe I thought you were being completly honest

On what I'm doing to help her
She needs some shelter
And if you've felt her loyalty what can you do?

Will you keep this up,
As long as you can if I don't make it stop?
I don't have a clue

Just tell me the truth

Who are you really?

Are you the friend that I've know since kindergarden?
Of what you are about to do
Would you fool me too?
I've been lied to by the likes of you
From that point of view
I get the privilege to enlighten you

 

I lost you on the war against drungs

All you really needed was a great big hug

Why does our world keep putting out these narcotics?

It pulls families and friends a part

Like a bullet piercing my heart

You dropped outa school

You cut me outa your life

I Don't ever want you to call me again

But please do I'll always be here for you

On what I'm doing to help her
She needs some shelter
And if you've felt her loyalty what can you do?

I'm trying to help her
She needs some shelter
And if you've felt her loyalty what can you do?

Sooo...I know this blog is late but I'm gonna go for it anyways.  I'm actually really happy we started talking about banksy because honestly I had no idea how big this guy really was. I think I heard about it once but didn't really pay much attention. After watching the documentary it really opened up my eyes more towards street art. Every time I see street art now I actually take more time to really look at it.  And I didn't even know this doc was a Oscar nominee! It shoulda won if you ask me.  Anyways I'm really excited to do this project along with seeing every1s creative ideas.  Although I think it woulda been a lot more fun and more challenging if we never told the dean or newspaper...it would of been more banksy like :)
