let me know if you need dirt, i'll dig a hole. let me knew if your shirt is ripped, i'll learn to sew. but if you need a hand to pull you from the facts; let someone else know, i'm still learning to adapt.

Well it's not bad, but there's not much more I can say.

Good up to the last line, which kills it.

So your saying his poem "inadequate" is inadequate?

That would be using a poetic-sounding slogan for rhetorical purposes, which is unethical. It would be like saying “Racist, sexist, anti-gay, George Bush go away” because the sound of it lends a perception of truth. Or marching in Washington, chanting “This is what democracy looks like,” then pointing to the Supreme Count while shouting, “That is what hypocrisy looks like.” I’m above that.
