Wonderful! @barren wagon has just progressed to level 1!
I made this on a 75 second time constraint I'm quite proud of it I hope you all enjoy it
Maybe this shuld have the satire tag idk
I think it should, lol 😭
Apologies but I prefer material with substance, respectfully, your piece is entirely satirical, and I don't have much to work with 🥲🥲
Or we could get relational and talk about how poop is a signifier for other things, and the poem isn't about poop, but said thing which is similar to poop.
But as you've mentioned this, maybe it's not so serious¿
Satire can be serious
Wonderful! @barren wagon has just progressed to level 2!
We culd do that
True! Half satirical/yet also political is hot in modern poetry, yes yes
We could but what poop could signify here is incredibly vague and could almost be anything @-@
You could say perhaps it plays on the question "If God is all loving all powerful why did he make evil"
We could! And from your "Why did god invent pooping" line, we could get to that next logic point
But you need to expand more on the critical of god part,
Like maybe start the next stanza with another thing you don't like but question why it exists?
Like, if it were me writing this/adding onto the poem
Capitalism.
Money for nobody but those who don't need it.
We could've made a world without it. But it exists today.
Why? Why create someone for everyone if the people who need it aren't allowed enough of it, and the people with too much gets to keep it, for what reasons, to decorate their already satisfactory living?
Capitalism stinks, but just like poop, it's here to stay.
Capitalism.
Idk, that'd be my take on how to really improve the vibe of being satirical yet political
If you wanna keep it entirely satirical, as is, is perfectly fine
But if you want to do the satirical + political vibe, you could do something along the lines of my suggestions
Idk, I probably take poetry pretty seriously haha
I leave my heart + other things! :)
Understandable!
Key constraint in writing this piece is that I had 75 seconds to both think and type it up so that's why it's so short and doesn't get into anything else
Which makes sense, it's a great base!
What you do with it from here on out is totally up to you now
yassss 🙏
