The seeker the loner the lover the keeper The thrower the catcher the leaper The believer the stoner the beater The busser the cleaner the waiter The water the sinker the caster the bleeder The runner the stunner the teacher the preacher The heater the steeper the meeker the feature the Sliding the slipping and sloshing and Crawling and creeping and cutting and kissing Dishing and wining and dining and hissing Looking and seeing believing and breeding Heaving mashing heaping seeding Feeding flooding fretting keeping Shining a lining flowing and flipping Tripping sipping showing shipping Beating the beat of the poem of the people

The beat of the crowd
The temperature of the day I wake to feel its chill from the previous day Rise from bed and peer to the morning sky It is jeering at me behind the glass pane Heaps of invisible fangs ready to strike out at you On every traversed hill and wall It strikes at you with a last ditch attempt to dispatch you But you continue regardless Your face numb and featureless The only warmth you feel is your escaping breath Moments before it returns to the cold The cold is a reminder of suffering But there is hope For the cold is only a sacrifice for warmer days And the horizons winds bring a new day And a step closer to the elusive natural warmth

Negative Degrees
Peace be to me to you to see This life is a pity amid the dirt concrete city The people walk a speak like sheep Follow me take the leap! In the deep there scheming in the heat The sun shines but inside the suns blind The people are looking for something they cannot find Beat the propaganda slander and trickery Flip it on me topple the tables and stables Cane and Able are all fables but rather symbols To be represented and presented to the people For the words you speak is the key Peace Be

Peace be
Bright and endearing a light for us all Bring on the day bring on the light Take my elation to new heights Be truthful be happy be warm be free For the sun is shining and we all must see

Sunshine
Awaken oh brother awaken to your feet For it is a new day that you must meet Your square awaits and you must cooperate Or face the despair of no food for your plate Change is futile and your must forget hope For a new day is dawning and you have to cope Put on your suit and tie up your shoes For the new day awaits and you must choose You are a face in the crowd And your smile is proud But I see through your guise oh brother I see your fire For we both know what we both desire Freedom from our shackles and Freedom for all For what we believe matters is ever so small Meet me on the hill for our plans are set Free this world from the broken system that we have both met See to it that no one is harmed But remember the pen is mightier than the sword and the world is waiting for your linguistic charm

Within A Broken System
Some look to the Sky The great expanse fascinates them Their great wonder drives them to look beyond the sky and ponder their own existence Some look to the Earth The earths great riches drives them to understand why it is here Some look to the Arts The creativity of cultures brings them closer to their own inner richness Some look to humanity These people learn the most important lesson of all Their eyes see a world in need of change They dream of a new free world but wake up to a different reality Greed and excess has poisoned the souls of Mankind Those in search of knowledge are not able to display their full potential We see these sufferings but are helpless to stop it But what they do not realize is they are not alone Once the eyes are opened they can only see what needs to be seen
