there is a spark within each of us

October 7, 2012

each of us have something to offer it comes from within where exactly? only one must find it when you find it, it will feel like one of jay-z's smashing hit we all have gone through pain times when it feels noisy like a screaming rain one must find it within oneself to believe it takes one to have faith it takes one to have hope those thoughts will feel so warmth better than a junkie smoking dope there are times when faced with rejection feel so turned off worse than a guy's corny line to a female whatever you do, don't feel tempted to the life of crime where it will lead to jail mom is crying wondering why the only time she hears from you is through mail don't give up!!!!!!!!! stand up and be a star there are times when people will have their back turn you get the last laugh, so funny like a comedian talking insulting his ex-girl about getting burn the respect that you gain will rightfully earn just keep fighting the war like a marine in pearl harbor and you will own a shop more authentic than a barber there is a spark within each of us just find it within and you will be astonishingly amaze more than the Mets winning a world series

Overall, the general message of the poem as I read it--to embrace one's inner passions and hold on to them--is always a very inspiring one. What makes this poem to unique, however, are the very, very specific similes you pepper throughout the poem. "Just keep fighting the war like a marine in Pearl Harbor" is my personal favorite. They range all over the place, but yet all share a very concrete reality--Jay-Z's songs, drug-use (an interesting one, as something usually viewed as a negative is being used as a positive), a barber's shop, corny pick-up lines, etc. They really add a diverse life to the poem, as well as a strong sense of an urban environment. Very interesting work. Keep it up!
