Monte Smith: Rebel Poetry (The Chant)

Maybe it’s me, but I don’t wanna be non-threatening like the poets you see on TV

I want my poetry to scream truth and rights

I want my poetry re-read at night by younger generations ready to pick up the fight

I want my poetry to bite, rip and hit

I want my poetry to give you the fits, the sweats, the shits

It’s got to radiate with the same energy as the air in an uprising, no compromising

I want my poetry armed and ready to attack

I want my poetry to scare the rich into giving it back

I want my poetry to leave you choking and gasping for air

I want my poetry to remember brothers like John Sinclair

I don’t care what you think of me, listen to the words… its rebel poetry

I want my poetry to burn bridges and draw lines in the sand

I want my poetry books and recordings outlawed for being contraband

I want my poetry well trained and ready for reaction

I want my poetry to leave blood in your eye in memory of George L Jackson
