But how long has it been since you had sex

>>16993860
She is waiting to kiss my hand
But she will wait for my command
My chains and collar brought her to her knees
She now is free to please

Woman be my slave
That's your reason to live
Woman be my slave
The greatest gift I can give
Woman be my slave

Before her surrender, she had no life
Now she's a slave, not a wife
Her only sorrow is for women who live with lies
She's taken off her disguise

Woman be my slave
Chained unto my bed
Woman be my slave
Begging to be fed

Your body belongs to me

Woman come here
Remove your garments
Kneel before me
Please me

Mowgli's Song against the People from "Letting in the Jungle". It gives you nostalgia points with your millenial/boomer judges and it's rad

The Tiger

I gotta agree sounds like some bullshit.
I had a homie once who was depressed all the time and won some poetry awards. I was drinking one time with him and he read his bummer as hell stanzas about killing himself and all I remember is laughing hysterically about ridiculous it was. He had a huge shit eating grin while he read. Sorry, OP I just remembered that.

Io venni in luogo d'ogni luce muto;
The stench of wet coal, politicians
. . . . . . . . . . e and. . . . . n, their wrists bound to
their ankles,
Standing bare bum,
Faces smeared on their rumps,
wide eye on flat buttock,
Bush hanging for beard,
Addressing crowds through their arse-holes,
Addressing the multitudes in the ooze,
newts, water-slugs, water-maggots,
And with them. . . . . . . r,
a scrupulously clean table-napkin
Tucked under his penis,
and. . . . . . . . . . . m
Who disliked colioquial language,
stiff-starched, but soiled, collars
circumscribing his legs,
The pimply and hairy skin
pushing over the collar's edge,
Profiteers drinking blood sweetened with sh-t,
And behind them. . . . . . f and the financiers
lashing them with steel wires.

It's not even composition, but only reading, out loud...

When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.

Song of Myself, all of it

Just go with something you like. You lose to someone who can authentically recite some trash by Audre Lorde anyways.

Yeah big agree, not the biggest fan of it but apparently there's scholarship opportunities and it looks good on a college application, so I think it's worth it.
>>16995032
Yeah, probably just gonna pick a Yeats poem, art hoes will probably best me though.
