To Be A Bum: A Poetry Lesson by LeBron James

First: Use concise compressed language:

Bum (North American)
Noun

    1. a vagrant (person without a settled home or regular work who wanders from place to place and lives by begging)

    2. a person who devotes a great deal of time to a specific activity (Choose one: Twitter, encouraging white supremacists and bashing Black professional football and basketball players, urging others like him to grab women “by their pussy”)

Second: Tell the truth:

"Going to the White House was a great honor until you showed up!"

Third: Open your beautiful star-filled mouth and speak into the waiting air without compromise.
