"GS We Have A Problem! (Well I Think So)"
  by .candice.


This is not a poem
I will say this again.
This shit right here is not a poem
=====================================
Ok GS enough is enough with the bullshit...
Its about time we really take a second and
look to left and the right of us

Do you see the same poets
who you walked side by side with
on this site about a good 4 months ago?
No?
Yes?
Maybe?

The real poets
poets who gave shit and put they heart into this craft
are currently thinking about leaving
Or left out the back door without a fucking notice.

Why?

Well these situations/personalties could be one of the many reasons:

There are many who pen pieces just to fuck with others poets.
There are many who pen this to get a hot little young thing next to them at night
(THAT STATEMENT GOES FOR BOTH SEX)
There are some who were never really poets but just wanted to try their luck
There are those who feel they can no longer grow
People purposely slandering names
There are some who are jealous and envy others words
Some compete, cheat, steal and all that other good shit
Fractured offline relations and open disregard on GS causing people to no longer feel like they have a home here on GS

the list and reasons why people have throw away the pen can go on and on...

Sad to say...
This site is no longer a poetry site...
It has slowly became a regular community website with poetry as the secondary thought and also playing as a place where people can play superstar for a day or two.
and yes we are all guilty in some form or fashion..
but what are we really doing to stop it?
Not a damn thing...
Instead we still kissing asses , harboring il wills , and living within our own words
with the Kanye complex

You can't tell me nothing...

I remember when I first came to this site...
It was a family.
Respect was the key and love was spread.
But I guess that crap went out the window when we stop really carng about poetry and more about making a name for self

Becoming poetry pimps...

and what will happen or happened to the small percentage
of those who really do this shit for the love and love only????


Well... if we were/are really taking care of them and really showing them the respect and love that they deserved/deserve.. they would still be here...or wouldn't wanna leave...

Now let that marinate.

Wow Momma. Real talk...i dont think i coulda said it better myself! ive been a member on this site for a year and some change..and soooo many of my favorite poets, and people who truly inspired me to write are gone...and as you said without a trace... i truly do hope people would truly hear wtf your saying, and realize that if they wanted to chat and meet guys/gals and were not truly on this site for the poetry, they can go join Myspace.com and handle therr business. eh, anyway most deff fee...

so someone is keping it real. there a lot of people who whore their ficticious words like poetry is a free handout. I can understand why the originators would want to leave... but gs is what we make it to be. maybe it's time for a "real movement". anywho, nice contemplation of thoughts. much love and respect.
