Chant To The Patronizers

A poem in the Chant form

You think I’m young, my spirit’s too free...

How dare you patronize me!

You think I’m weird, far past unique...

How dare you patronize me!

You think I’m foolish, crazy and unruly...

How dare you patronize me!

I’ve come to a conclusion, a sort of epiphany...

How dare you patronize me!

You words, your thoughts, delivered unjustly...

how dare you patronize me!

I’ll stand up tall, just wait and see....

How dare you patronize me!

It's certainly thought provoking. I feel it needs more filling out. I wanted to be drawn in more. I just got into it and it ended. Liked it.

I'm trying to place it in the context of a complaint ... and the closest I came to it ... is someone carrying placards and creating a protest on the street. Chants may be suited for affirmative messages ... like Gregorian chants ... or mantras. This may work as rap ... . A good attempt.

[Briana O'Connor]

I read through a lot of definitions of the chant poem and not a single one of them say anything about affirmative messages. In fact, on the contrary, I found several chant form poems with a similar direction as mine. Thank you for taking the time to read.

I appreciate the research you did on the chant form in connection with my review. I was expressing my opinion on chants ... and I figure it not the only one view. However a chant as a protest ...implies pleading ... not an expression of right.
