Poetry Sucks And So Do The Poets

What is a poem? It has to have incomprehensible words, impenetrable meaning and intricate rhyme and rhythm, must be very serious, and have no connection to real life. It’s usually some sad, depressing story on life, love, or faith in bullshit that people preach that can’t be proven.

More over, assholes write sad poetry which ends up making others feel just as worse as them. So what’s a better way to make others feel the same way you are? Throw up on them. Think to yourself, “It’s not that I’m sick of their happiness, but if I throw up on them they won’t be happy anymore? They’ll understand me for once and feel the same way I do”. That’s an effective way to solve the problem, am I right?

But still – there’s more types of poetry. Rhyming poems. People think that just because they rhymed, that there is a good beat to it, it’s cool and coherent. To tell you the truth, most of it sucks. Here’s a notion for you – shut the fuck up.

So now you know why poetry sucks, but why do poets? Who thinks of this terrible shit? Who thinks up these mindless pieces of ‘literature’? Poets. That’s why poets suck.
