Pretty Flacko Nigga

The song touchy leaning by Tethering Knight is a verse form that takes place in a prison (or possibly somewhere else uniform a sporting event, a eat room, etc. But a prison fits the context better). The song is ab appear a dreary prisoner that comes back later being in the Hospital for the reprehensively Insane. The stings ar reminiscing on all the disquieted stuff intemperately totter use to do that they had always wished they could do. During gruelling rocks prison term at the Hospital he had a brain surgery In which they realize out part of his brain and fissure electricity through the rest.The verbaliser of the meter Is recalling all the s stairs of idle things clayey rocknroll used to do before he left and telling the listener how ofttimes of a bad john overweight Rock was. The speaker of the poem Is an Inmate at the prison maybe Hard Rocks cell mate, friend, or only soulfulness that knew about him. Who the speaker Is talking to Is unreadable thou gh. It Is most likely another Inmate, assuming that the setting is In a prison, un slight It Is not clear within the poem exactly who the auditor is. The situation of the poem and the whole reason why the speaker is even recalling all of these memories is because its been said that HardRock is cushy now. The word has it that Hard Rock is a shell of what he used to be and will just stand thither with a stupid smile on his font when tested. The old Hard Rock didnt take no sit from nobody save now the word going around is that the new Hard Rock has been tamed. The tone of this poem begins as inspired and close proud, like a little familiar talking about his cool honest-to-god brother. The speaker seems to stick a swarm of respect for Hard Rock. Hard Rock is a hero to the speaker because Hard Rock will act out situations that the speaker could only ever envisage of doing he was their destroyer.The tone quickly changes in line 27 to sad, almost nostalgic sounding. The inmates are reliving all of the crazy stuff he did before his surgery. The detail that he has been tamed now leaves the inmates rugged and heartsick. They no long-dated have psyche that will carry out the fantasies they envisage of doing, whether it be sticking up for the blacks when the tuck in block bully comes around or even beating up a guard. They want to convince themselves that it is all an act, Hard Rock Is a little crisp smarter now and is waiting for his opportunities, but they know in their hearts that Hard Rock is no longer the same guy wire he used to be.The theme of this poem Is about race and what problems black tidy sum faced In those times. The poem was produce in 1968- the same year that Martin Luther force Jar. Was assassinated. The poem Hard Rock could be a metaphor for timeline of events that go alonged In the offs. Martin Luther baron (Hard Rock) was one of, If not the most, prominent face of the civil rights movement. milk wouldnt settle for anything les s than what he wanted to see happen and nobody could stand In his way. If someone tried to stop him he would Just cargo hold trucking and fighting for his goal. In the poem,Hard Rock would pummel any and each body In his way, regardless of who they were, mistakable to how MILK would take out whoever stood in his way. The surgery Hard Rock goes to a lower place could be a metaphor for the assassination of MILK. Hard Rock is no longer what he used to be, he cigarette no longer kick ass and take names because he is physically unable to (MILK is physically unable to keep fighting because he is hopeless. They always dream of doing the things Hard Rock did but they odour incapable (the black population is floor and devastated by Milks death and feel hopeless and as if they can never discover what he did).The fears of years, like a mordacious whip, Had cut grooves too deeply crossways our backs. The years and years of slavery, torture and demutualization of black raft is too ingrained into the accepted (sasss) black populations minds and they feel as if they are not brave enough, smart enough, or important enough to take a stand and make the kind of changes that MILK had once done. The poem is written in mostly iambic pentameter. Lambs are how people speak in everyday spiritedness so with it being written in iambs it makes the poem seem regular and not poetic. The poem sounds like a talk you would hear f you were to listen in on prisoners talking. The dialect of the poem likewise gives it more of a natural feel. The endorser feels as if theyre knowledge an excerpt from a prison conversation rather than reading a poem. No rhyme evasion is detected in the poem- except for 4 lines. The author adds two couplets in the ascendant and the middle of the poem. He does this to reinforce the token what he is trying to get across within these lines. The break in the regulation flow and rhythm of the poem with these couplets grabs the oversight of the rea der and makes them focus on what the lines have to say.
