When You Need Poetry Really Bad, We Got Real Bad Poetry

May 14th, 2007 at 8:44 pm by Cranky

Please celebrate with me, my college-level poetry won an honorable mention in the Hatemonger’s Horrible College Student Poetry Contest.

Here’s my entry:

From the Shadows
You oppress
Darkness cast from behind the Mountain of your Billion$$
Burning Stell, Injecting AIDS, Buying Lo and $elling Hi.

Your CocaColaTM dividends,
Bottles of Broken Glass [under children’s feet]!
The pause that refreshes? TM

I can only stand aloof, weeping.
Tears of Sorrow
Tears of RAGE
My fist clenches
The Mother/Spirit lays dying.

SHINE THE LIGHT MOTHER!
Expose the Darkne$$
SHINE THE LIGHT MOTHER!
Evaporate their Cokes!
SHINE THE LIGHT MOTHER!
So we can cut off their boy parts

Take us From the Shadows.

You have to see what beat me out for the first prizes. Yeeesh!

    I thought all the entries the Hatemongers chose to “post” were truly execrable. I certainly didn’t envy Anonymous the task of choosing a “winner”. As least worst of the featured entries, you should be very self-esteemful.

    Kross, thank you, I think. Unfortunately, the only think I can think is that I even suck at sucking!

    Dan, that was truly horrible. Thank you for the tip. I will sleep well knowing that there are people serious about their awful poetry.
