I've noticed that slam poetry sounds a lot like preaching

So is this a Christcuck or 'lol librels and wominz'-thread?

There was one kid at my high school who I think is now a published poet that got me into poetry
He performed howl and it blew my mind

OP here
I actually am not a christian. It just struck me that slam poets use all the same techniques as a preacher might, and not as many literary techniques. The poems are driven by the passion of the speaker, not the strength of the words. Its not really poetry, so they should stop pretending it is. Hell the audience at slam poetry performances even shout like a congregation. The whole thing is just that: performance.

That's because mosy people suck at writing to begin with so why should you expect slam poetry to be better?

Won a pair of bruins tickets for this "slam poem" rate me lit

Make america great again
Make america hate again
Hate again? Shit hate now
Don't no one want no know how
If all lives matter, do tell
Why skin determines jail cell
Shoot first, he scared me!
Fuck first, make her bleed.
Least then when you bleed later
Shit looks right wrote on paper
Ghetto talk? Ghetto walk?
13 year old and father shot.
Fuck forgiveness, burn a block.
No human kills someone for walk.
And how do I know? look at me.
Blood is black, but skin look free.
My attitude might need adjust
Officers: ride back of bus
And feel some fucking disgust
Move down the peg and discuss
Why systematic hate-lust
Dissolves any and all trust
Me, I'll the burn the flag and bus
I do not stand for what disrupts
Freedom if you obey us.
And look right and sound white
Don't move an inch might lose all sight
If you flinch, out goes all right
In a pinch, God can't save life
Police dead? That shit is tragic.
Black dead? Divert the traffic.
Racist lens is judgment magic
Before your eyes, murder turn plastic
Big Negro: shoot on sight
Suicidal? Shoot in eye.
Hurricane incoming soon.
Wait till smoke black out the moon
Lighters up, don't make hands loom
Provisions for injustice tomb
Protest met with resentment
Protection wise investment
And gangsters? they got it right
Least they shoot, least they fight
For a certain chance at life
That many just won't see tonight
Who the hell would call this right?
Judicial system abort more life
Than any doctor with a knife
On and on and on then off
Said and gone, and gone just scoff
Prejudice disarms all good
Social targetting past hood
Buy dinner 'fore they fucked good
All common sense should stay blood
Shoulda coulda, testament
Footage leak embellishment
And all I can do now is vent
Land of dubious intent
Home of killer adjucant
Great again? Shit never was.
Greatness bleeds, no heart no buzz.
Stand or sit or kneel because
America like shit on rug
No time to clean: war on drugs
Crime prevention prevents hugs
Law enforcement need more judge
Long as police will not budge
It's genocide, no homicide
Make millions cry, kindness hide
Can't look away when you ain't blind
Can't drop love like bomb from the sky
Man damn these feelings, fuck them sighs
Black lives matter, until we die
