Donnie Darkhorse

Alright, people, isn’t it a shame that Zack de la Rocha has to live in the same age with Donnie Darkhorse, that moronic little fuck-you-i-won’t-do-what-you-tell-me wannabe spawn of poetry?

Donnie Darkhorse who has the honor to be featured here is as much a cliché as he ever wanted to be. He is 20 years old and he does — well, guess what — poetry! Wow, poetry at the age of 20 — isn’t that amazing? What a talent! What an inspiration to all of us!

Donnie writes about politics (gee, how original!) and about broken relationships and depression and all that stuff that he has absolutely no fucking right to write about. Mr. Darkhorse has never been to war, never taken the arduous path of heavy drug addiction, never gone through Holocaust — to be short, he has never experienced or been exposed to any of the sorrows this big world has to offer (and it has plenty of them, but none is in Connecticut — that’s where Donnie resides). How do we know that? — Shit, what can you write about when you are twenty and live in an average U.S. province?

Broken relationships? — Fuck you, Donnie. What kind of broken relationship can you have that we need to know about and moreover listen to it in the shape of poetry? If you want to whine about how somebody does not suck your little carrot, then do it alone, in your room, wearing a pinkish thong and enjoying it, because you are a real poet with a fragile soul and delicate and intelligent mind, you are sensitive and an inspiration to all other people who do NOT rhyme words.

Politics? — Donnie Darkhorse has a book that was published recently and is called “A Scar Is Born”. A book of poems, here is an official description of it (whoever wrote that shit):

Containing fifty poems (in dedication to each of the fifty satanic stars on the American Rag representing the fifty sadistic states in this corrupted country), Donnie Darkhorse’s debut book, A Scar Is Born, is an examination into the tragic state America is in today, how war is not the path to peace, and how changes need to be made in order to bring hope and happiness into the heart of this land.

Ok... The author is 20 years old, has no degree in Political Science or whatever and produces a 136 pages long “examination into the tragic state America is in today”. What sort of farce is this? Writing fifty poems is definitely not the way to carry out an examination of a political situation. I don’t know, Donnie, maybe you did not know that, but poetry is not the only way to express your thoughts. Really, man, think about this — writing words that do not rhyme or rhythm is easy. And it helps to understand you better. You should try this and see how good no-rhymes speech is.

For example, say:

“I am Donald Dakota Devnet Darkhorse and I like trying on women’s clothes. But that’s not what’s wrong with me, the main problem is that I am a pathetic moron and I do not realize this. I go on tours and read my poetry to public, thus showing what sort of looser I am. I am ridiculous.”

Say it, Donnie, say it loud to yourself, pal, do not rhyme these words. You will be ashamed at first, but just a couple of minutes later you will feel better. We are here to help you, dear friend. Stop being a shame to your parents, stop embarrassing yourself. Grab a beer, watch football, masturbate, dig chicks and find other ways to earn money and fame. You are not Zack de la Rocha, you are a MORON!

“A Scar Is Born” — only an idiot like you, Donnie, can be proud of a book of poetry published at PublishAmerica, which is exactly the place for your faggety verses.

Here is a little reality check tour on PublishAmerica for you, Donnie:

- PA is a print-on-demand/vanity press even though it claims to be ‘traditional’.

- None of book stores in the USA (let alone the rest of the world) will stock books stamped by PA.

- Anyone who has a book published by PA will never be able to become a member of the Authors Guild or any other similarly respectable organization.

- The advance PA pays to its authors ranges from to (and that’s not even hundreds of dollars, it’s just dollars).

- The main profit for PA comes from its authors who buy their own books and give them away as gifts to friends/relatives and for promotion.

- At one time PA accepted for publication a sting manuscript with the same 30 pages repeated ten times (that’s how low their standards are, Donnie; in fact, you did not have to write fifty poems to produce a book, you could have repeated one poem fifty times and, believe us, “A Scar Is Born” would still be as good as it is now).

“Spoken word for society’s salvation” — that’s Donnie’s slogan and he is not tired of printing it and putting it everywhere he can.

Donnie, we have to be honest with you “UNspoken word for society’s salvation” will fit you way better. Or even “Kill Donnie Darkhorse for society’s salvation”. “Make Ron Jeremy shove his heavy bolt deep into Donnie’s throat, let Donnie asphyxiate on it and agonize, watch this little poet die — do this for society’ salvation, rid us of this moron.” That would be a proper slogan.
