Walk Down The Street....
As I walk down the street,
my feet strike the concrete.
Duracells propel
the motordrive of my walkman.
People are walking and talking;
hawkers are stalking.
My volume s on ten;
my mind swims like a dolphin.
The beat is a pool
and it s deep - so I dive in.
A big splash - and it s Flash .
A whirlpool as the wax spins.
Sound waves bends, and blends,
and condescends.
Filling your cup and won t stop
till you say When .
Your cup runneth over
indulge like Casanova.
Bash in the rhyme
that brings to mind... A Super Nova.
Remove your shades.
No harm in a glaze.
Brings warmth to your heart
and sets your soul ablaze.
Some call it this call it that
call it "Whack".
Call it the voice of the black
and yeah, I like that.
The bass goes "Boom"
and the snares go "TAp";
The hi-hats sounds like
"tich, tich, tich,...... tich.
It's the beat of the street
and the turns of 'The Wheels of Steel'.
from Brother to Brother -
much has been revealed.
"How you feel", How you deal,
How you kneel and appeal...
to the Creator to make it better
in a world that is so unreal.
Policeman's sheild -
telling you to "Be Still!"
It's ill - but you chill,
unless you want to be killed.
Didnt' steal, but you peel -
to show that nothing's concealed.
The strive in our life -
is thicker than oatmeal.
Some look amazed and dazed -
when reading the front page.
Puzzling like a maze;
but, an everyday... thing for some;
to see someone... Yeilding a gun;
For work, For Fun; For some, for none.
"For Goodness Sakes My Son,
Tell me... What Have You Done?!"
It's cats who have 9 lives.
You have only 1 .
So be finicky.
Stray when trouble comes.
Or if not, get locked in a dungeon.
Now... You've come along -
to run the marathon.
The road is steep,
uphill, and its quite long.
FOR 24-7,... your name is a sad song.
The store's right around the corner.
But, further than Hong Kong.
Another runner, another number.
Another wonders... What Happened
to the Joy of past summers.
Oh what a bummer, now feelin dumber.
Negative thoughts
pound the skull like thunder.
When Did it all Change ?
Please stop the migraine.
A victim of no gain.
Loser of this game.
Feel the pain in my brain;
Am I going insane ?
It's clear skies above
But,.... rain on my windowpane.
And where is my rainbow ?
Where Did My Dreams Go ?!
So Many Woes... it's coming like stereo.
All around me. Try'in to drown me.
I wanna sail on a sea of tranquility.
But: Poverty has 'Seized Me' .
AND..... has 'Squeezed Me' .
The rent takes my money...
and my home takes my diginity.
Drugs is a way out.
or should I say way in?!
Depends on who sellin;
And what fool is payin.
What am I sayin?!
My mind is playin... tricks on me...
I have eyes... I can see .
That 'dead or in jail'...
is not where I wanna be.
Even worse,... a threat to humanity.
So much blame... I place on society.
Sometimes I feel...
Like Myself is the enemy (!)
I fight insanity -
in my reality.
What is this place doing to my mentality?
As I.... Walk
Down The Street....
