clock swing, seconds sling
broken wing, hours cling, sound ring
breaks a spring, time thing-

I am the eternal shiva.....

My natural desire is to look after
Myself. I sometimes
help others out of fear of God.

Why countless stars to  
delight a handful of people on a tiny sphere?

nature loves surfeit.

It glides through the blades
And runs through the glade
The master of forest
And that of masquerade.

Regal and arcane
Slender grace, untamed
Of spring legs, of might roar
Of majesty is its saffron face.

As it comes near, as it goes away
Dancing through the verdant trees
Illusion, tricking, sneaky peeking
Spine-chilling are its traits.

Elusive and shy,
With mystical stripes,
Lord of the mountains,
The legendary feline.

Ever-deceiving,
Always fleeing,
Into the dark,
Hidden wild.

"Hey I read your poems
I like how your words rhyme
Are you a rapper and a poet in your free time?"
-
I am no rapper and I'm not trying to be one
Honestly from where I stand
I can see how studios are getting crammed
With people who don't really have the talent
All they know is how to get lit (sh*t)
Which lead to a whole new culture (skrt)
-
Don't get me wrong, I want to be part of this new wave
A poet showing these rapper how to really play this game
I speak with the tongue of your fathers
So you better behave
I speak with the tongue of your fathers
They're probably turning in their graves
-
I am a poet, not a rapper
Maybe I should jump on a beat
And show them I can do it better
Cause this is where it all started, at poetry
But now everyone is throwing words around hopelessly

To accept.
To get
To feel
To achieve.
Folks use words of manipulation for passion, for pleasure, for joy.

To get money, words of manipulation is used.
To achieve something vital to your interests you use them too.

I love.
Said at the right time, maybe to a sensual feeling mind.
You beautiful.
Spoken, with the truth but used at certain moments, as a tool.

Admit it.
You have used words of manipulation to your advantage.
