I’ve decided to change the poetry videos slightly, to not just do any old poems, but poetry that is specifically masculine, to show people that not all poetry is written by soy eaters and stank faced women. Really, isn’t that why the alternative literature establishment (such as it is) exists at all?

And so having said all that, I ask you: who better than myself to be the first in this showcase?

Music: Battle Hymn by Manowar, covered acoustically by Youtube’s own Francesco Guarneri, whose channel you can check out right here

And just for the hell of it, here’s the rollicking text again:

The Masculine Scribe by Larsen Halleck

When emotions stand to deluge and flood

And the Furies’ maelstrom enflames the blood

Man forgoes blade, plow, and libation imbibe

And puts pen to paper, for he is a scribe

The subjects are many, the reaches are vast

Hopes, lusts, and furors are drawn from the past

No order was given, no structures formal

His verse an outpour of his raw, natural soul

His hands are callused, and his thews are hard

His reality coarse, an unlikely bard

But his verse is stirring, meter no diatribe

His existence is shocking, a muscular scribe

His poetical peers are a contemptuous lot

Delicate sinews, and perversive in thought

These are the sophists the kings endorse

The death of men’s poetry a matter of course

But one man can wage an eternal fight

His defiance alone won’t end poetry’s plight

But the die is cast; arise, a new tribe

Reclaim the beauty of the masculine scribe!
