Seeing is believing, though some depictions are more
Vivid,
Putting on a show for these twelve angry viewers, is it
Enough to keep them livid?
Practice hasn't made us perfect, yet we made it to
The recital,
Trying to avoid being canned in a world that doesn't
Recycle.
"Get off your soap box," what is it really like in your
Bubble?
If I explain that I'm a triple threat, would my fines then
Double?
Sidetracked by a naive epiphany,
You don't know what it's like to be treated differently because
You haven't been treated differently.
The line to redemption moves as if there's no
Wait,
Be careful in this "Yogurt Land" and the items that you place upon
"Yo plait."
Some pay to play, feel free to test your
Buck,
Chance might take us to the "cleaners," please do not press your
Luck.
With partly clouded minds how do we take the world by
Storm?
Seeking independence, it seems our fire works best in July
Form.
They say we got our rhythm from the
"Blues,"
The reports say the consumer got his wisdom from the
News.
Told never to look down, not 'til we are higher
Up,
Karma won't come back around if we decide to tie her
Up.
How do we erase the attention that we've
Drawn?
Must we picket the white fence trespassing in our
Lawn.
Accustomed to it frequently raining cats and dogs, are we
Vets?
Leave it all on the table,completely aware of where we've place our
Bets.
Choking on your pride could possibly be a painless
Meal,
The dirty habit of thieving could easy be a stainless
Steal.
Understanding how to breathe life into our
Existence,
Short cuts were created, but very few can go the
Distance.
Our only gesture towards the future is to
Weep,
So how do we awaken those who refuse to recognize that they are
Asleep?
About the Creator
Michael avant
Hello fellow creators. In short I'm nothing more than a very big fan of this art form we all love called Poetry. Playing with words and thoughts, bending and twisting ideas is all part of this therapeutic yet challenging past time.
