Paying it Back to continue to Pay it Forward

Not going to lie, I feel personally attacked.

So, I guess this means I better clean up my act.

When it comes to art, I should stop making atrocities.

But what's a little art without chaos or philosophy?

Yes, poets like to use metaphors and analogies.

Linking them together, like extended families.

When it comes to philosophy about the light and the dark

It's less about the abstract concrete, and more of what's in the heart.

So, let us start to understand the human condition.

Since you, me, and everybody has some form of cognition.

Over the years of fine tuning, we develop intuition.

Poetry's like instincts, it builds off repetition,

And patterns that we see to keep us from harm

As we look for others that develop that develop new forms

Doing repeats expecting different results is insanity defined

However, factoring the scientific method is a very fine line

Yet, with numerous ways to structure grammar and words to binge

Sure, You can say some of the best poets are a little "Unhinged"
