  1. By means of introduction, the first poem is impressionistic, and it's based on my experiences with university life. The second poem attaches to an ethos of the body. They're not really about anything; that would completely ruin the intended critical meaning. 1. An exercise, a device, a derisive thought, Arrogance, meanness, and then death, Some of us are dreamers, and some of us are vacant, Some of us make life an art, while others never start, We do not like these second people or their plots, We will stand upon their graves like empty lots, We shall stand against the wind of their desires, We must break them down into our fires, And cast them away like the magazines they read, These stupid unknowing men of knowledge, These tepid, unchanging men of college, 2. Unrecorded feelings and unknown shadowy places, Wives of politicians and greedy men with empty faces, Gather round to count your cards and throw off your aces, To find between dusk and dawn how time erases All the lingering you feel beneath your faces. Stamp! Stamp out the wisdom and the gangly traces Of jokers who know nothing beyond their shoelaces, Bring yourself to create nothing but movement without braces, Love yourself, not for what your body follows, but what it chases.
  2. I don't have any favourite set of lyrics, but Nirvana's Pennyroyal Tea lyrics are interesting. I'm also into Bob Dylan, Elliot Smith, Woody Guthrie and Leonard Cohen for their lyrical merit. Oh, and I'm new, everyone Here are the aforementioned lyrics (the song expresses Kurt Cobain's pain, and the lyrics refer repeatedly to the situation around his chronic stomach pain, which he said were the original reason why he turned to heroin):I'm on my time with everyoneI have very bad postureSit and drink Pennyroyal teaDistill the life that's inside of meSit and drink Pennyroyal teaI'm anemic royaltyGive me a Leonard Cohen afterworldSo I can sigh eternallyI'm so tired I can't sleepI'm anemic royaltyI'm a liar and a theifI'm anemic royaltyI'm on warm milk and laxativesCherry-flavored antacidsSit and drink Pennyroyal teaDistill the life that's inside of meI'm anemic royaltyI'm anemic royalty
