Ricochet

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?
