Listen.
Fuck Capitalism,
& the demand for artists to worship it.
I’m the third,
Almost second,
Most prolific poet of all time.
I wrote the longest resource,
For the most complex format,
Of the most complex game ever invented,
That computers can’t solve!
Still:
I’ve been hate crimed,
Signed,
Ignored by said publisher for years,
Dropped via email.
Rejected for thousands of jobs,
Hundreds of submissions.
Broke,
Ghetto as fuck.
Still,
I never quit.
Ever.
Kept writing.
Self-published.
Held my own work close.
Never let any filthy capitalist,
Ever tell you what you,
Or your work,
Is “worth.”
