We Real Cool

THE POOL PLAYERS
SEVEN AT THE GOLDEN SHOVEL.

We real cool. We
Left school. We

Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We

Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We

Jazz June. We
Die Soon
- Gwendolyn Brooks

This is my favorite poem (ever.) and ever since I read it in the seventh grade, whenever I think about it, I feel a bit more enlightened.

And then hearing one of my favorite rappers, Lupe, reference it, I thought thats trill! Dont know why I just thought about it now, but I felt like I had to post it for you to read and not comment on... (i put < /sarcasm> there and blogger took it as actual code, which made me lmao)

SIDE NOTE:shouts out to Ms.Gordon, but if any Dinlocker students read this...you're probably already re-analyzing it.
