Smelly Scum Child. (Free verse) by Y2kSlamPoet
[ It appears that this poem was lost in my travel pack. ]
[ Unfortunately I found it and just HAD to share it with y'all.]
I am prophet
disguised as a street urchin
deluded ex-yuppie poet
cruisin' back alleys & lurchin--
gone stupid & I know it
in Portland on heroin & apathetically searchin'.
The quintessential joke:
A raggedy bearded 'n soiled bum
begging for the holy smoke,
or at least some change for cheap rum--
Always straight fucking broke.
I am the stink
moochin off of your soul,
taking myself to the brink
& fillin up this hole
in my vein so I don't have to think--
backin it up with a stiff drink.
I am ScumChild,
running wild
& strange,
askin' you for more
change--
refusing to,
Always.
