What Ever Happened To?
By St_Clinton
What ever happened to the Militant
Poets?
The ones who spoke about the wrongs in
the world
The ones that caused the audience to
stand up and say “You know it”
What ever happened to the Spoken Word
Artist?
The ones who reached into your mind and
soul,
The ones who caused you to think like
none other dareth
What ever happened to the Societal
Lyricist?
The ones who weren't scared to speak
about societies truths
The ones where you say to yourself, “I
am glad that I am hearing this”
What ever happened to the Reality
Rhymers?
You know that ones that could write one
about a life of a tree
And you sit and wonder, “Is this
about me?”
What ever happened to the true talent?
The ones who could write more than
pornetry,
by giving us a taste of there
intellectuality.
What ever happened to the true
wordsmiths?
The ones who could also talk about This
Not just about That.
What ever happened to those who would
be original Thinkers?
Not the ones who had some good original
works
But most of the stuff in their works is
just stinkers.
I know that they say things will cycle
around again
And maybe they will do works that
inspire me and you
But at the moment I sit and wonder,
“What ever happened to...?
