Why?
empty verses scribbled on a paper plane
swallowed whole by world
ripples in the sand, can’t even begin to explain
cut your losses or pretend to go insane
there’s a larger game afoot, and I’d like to set the rules
one, there’s no more hate or pain
two, there’s only one
every dream I have I wanna imagine I can fly
asleep in my bed, yet spinning through the sky
slinging raps I thought I could do it with reckless abandon
versing out in distress, a temptation poems had a hand in
people meeting in the shadows
exchanging synonyms like ancient gangsters
removing commas like complacent pranksters
does anyone see what I mean
kids patrolling social media correcting grammar
their, there, they’re
confuse them with Latin
type backwards bringing vocabulary down like a hammer
educate the system we live in
correcting people wont improve your time living
write a play
cover your streets with imagery in the night
bring back the arts
minimise the left brain prison we’re brought up in
