Being half-caste doesn't excuse this terrible bastardisation of English.
I thought this was a troll poem OP just knocked up, but this is supposedly legitimate poetry?
Shit, shit, shit.

Do you think grammar and sintax is important when writing a book?

Yes. And if you're going to disregard norms and be all rogue-writer then you need to be able to actually write well. It's like playing the piano badly; any fool can bash some keys down but it takes an expert knowledge of music to be able to slide in and out of key at the right times.
