This should be within the forum rules. I often get stuck rhyming and ranting about random things in my head, but rarely write it down, so I figured I'd make a thread to jot down these ramblings and keep them organized so I can watch my mind progress over time. Somebody else might stop in and get some enjoyment out of them as well, who knows. ___| A spiral in the sky burns away the day turning tomorrow into tonight But as we get lost in the clouds something doesn't feel right There's a different taste in the air, the future doesn't look too bright I'm looking for a signal, a sign, to see if anyone is willing to fight But they're not Comfort isn't willing to be forgot Sadly this habit is learned as quickly as its taught Reforming the bonds once wraught to constrict the mind and turn us blind to the things once sought By all Freedom and foremost of all Life Free of strife Turning us ignorant to the loss of life, a sacrifice made to bullet and blade because of those we could not persuade to share the light The rhyme is the only way to express my ideas and keep them tight Not concerned of wrong or right Work the mind and form the words to keep my thoughs from getting weak And perhaps convince my brothers, my fellow people who will, (you, too), inherit the planet we made so bleak So to finally belong to the 'meek'. _| Comments if you want, I'll update this periodically nonetheless.
Laughs sustain my disdain in reality A troubling nuisance threatening my vitality Consuming all, leaving nothing An empty voicing, their mouths frothing at the thought of hope Using their mother as a scapegoat, taking a knife to their own throat Reading back the words in their minds that they wrote Striving to live their lives as more than a joke, writing riddles and rhymes and spotting false signs toke after toke The illusion of our own imagery Placidity of a token Presidency Horrid images just wash over Too used to seeing blood on one another Our voices once rose to make a thunder that couldn't be ignored Silence! Now change the channel, we're starting to get bored.
