Tai Mesches. September 2012

 Tai spoke his original material, as follows:

comets of naked sonnets scratch from under my surface
churnin’ my words ‘n’ makin’ me speak on purpose
the civil service of a poet, is to embrace the colliding tensions
to then simply grab the pen ‘n’ use the weapon of expression
to lessen the fear in our hearts, ‘n’ remind us we are human
‘n’ that we are what we love, ‘n’ not the shit we be consumin’
doomed we seem to be, but i’m not here to preach
about our society’s negativity, i’m here to make poetry
spoken from me to you, take the time to feel the shift
don’t be oblivious to the rhymes i spit
tactics of wacky havoc, cracking through heavy traffic
scriptin’ manic magic, it’d be tragic if ya panic
can you handle freedom? freedom of the word?
write for what you believe in ‘n’ let your soul be heard?
i dare you to turn the page, but you’ll be lost in my wordy maze
as long as i got your attention, let’s extract your courageous ways
face the blankness with confidence, ‘n’ turn off your mind to write
let the comets of naked sonnets, pour out from your inside
like hyper vipers peppered pretendin’ to be positive poison
but more of a flavor, a bit tart of a dark sweet, maybe more like hoisin
moistenin’ up the creative juices, we take a sip of originality
no other man or woman can sound like the voice that speaks inside of me
poetry has become to be, the reason why i live
to defeat adversity, with a pen in my grip
‘n’ to tell my own tale with the words that i choose
to be able to breathe life into every word, this i choose not to lose
with the commerce, consumers, the sonnets, the bloopers
the promises, tumors, ‘n’ money-bag rulers
the sonnets ‘n’ science, the truth, the foolers
the proof, the youth, the used, the abusers
the sonnets, the greed, the sonnets, the consumers
the sonnets, the greed, the sonnets, the consumers
the sonnets, the greed, the sonnets, the sonnets
the sonnets, the greed, the sonnets, the sonnets,
the sonnets, the sonnets, the sonnets,
the sonnets, the sonnets,
the sonnets…
