Dark Cat

Don't think
I'll play this game anymore.
I've seen beauty
beauty is behind a closed door.
She glitters and gleams
but she is not what she seems.
To find beauty
I must look inside.
Take down
what I see on the outside
and hide it in my memory.
These treasures I can keep with me
a page of words.
Love is just a joke
life is absurd
learn to laugh at the visions
flow through the transitions.
It all will pass
nothing's made to last,
the more you hold it
the faster it fades away.
Like the last rays of light,
on a winter's day.

The 1980s and 1990s poetry slam and rap styles are absolutely considered
"old school" now, for one example:
