Caucasion Rap



British Caucasian adolescent, middle class tribe
talks the talk, accent unrefined

media paint a picture. felonious youth culture,persona of a generation defined
Supping from life’s powder keg

ridiculous male mode, must have their respect
carnage on the streets, must stand erect
gangster Rap music the sound track

media paint a picture, felonious youth culture,persona of a generation defined
supping from life’s powder keg

hoodies attack
Style appropriate for crime
Society quivers in its bed

teenage majority trend lead, fashion thier only crime
teenage majority trend lead, fashion thier only crime

media paint a picture, felonious youth culture,persona of a generation defined
Supping from life’s powder keg

Interesting

Hi lou, Interesting theme...It's just a personal preference but if you restructured your lines to reinforce keys words and phrases and the repititon I think it would flow easier. Liked it though. Ells x

I cannot knock you on your

I cannot knock you on your back here Lou. Nor can I comment on the form, if you change anything, it will be without *my feedback*. However, I will address the context of your poem: I find the teenagers of every generation to be quite *appropriate*... it seems harder and harder to break down the walls of previous generations. And yet, like Pink Floyd's The Wall, every generation chips away at the status quo, thank God, Buddha, Krishna, etc. Who sees the subculture of teenage reality in a world that adults create? Few, precious few. Thank you Lou. I'm reminded of "We didn't start the fire."
