tell it like it is!

Marcus McKinley

who cares about this stupid contest
everyone thinks there poem is the best
your chances of winning are slim to none
making you wonder, what is the fun
in writing poems for false recognition
having them published in any condition
linking to keywords for advertisement
or writing this poem, because i had to vent
