My Three Favorite Poems: Steal This Poem, The Poet Cookbook, and The Poet Manifesto

Wouldn’t it be great if life were free?
Kind of like when you were two or three
But no, life is real
So if you desire, you must steal

Surviving on zero cash
Milking “hot” wood for all its ash
It’s about sleeping in other people’s cars
And getting “house” drinks at all the bars

What can I do with bleach and soap?
Nothing, tell you read this book, you dope
I wanna throw a monkey wrench in The Machine!
Use the book wrongly and you’ll have no spleen

Take ½ a cup rebel and 1 teaspoon of being insane
Throw in a splash of the 70’s for some real pain
Let’s try to deface The Man
Plus it’s good reading for The Can

Gimme gimme the color red
We’re all equal, might as well be dead
Solute everything Soviet and be a drone
With blond hair and blue eyes, you should be a clone

I want my yellow sickle and hammer
About the first women dictator, damn her!
Do as Mr. Marx said to
And with red stars you will make do
