Thank you.
Detached, heartless
Cold
Reattached, 'Jah bless'
Bold
Full speed ahead
Clear view
Wipers, windshield
Can't work with the rear view... mirror
I write, **** them dead
Killer
Let them say "Dude, the verse... you murdered it!"
'Ill'er'
But still I... wonder if they got the message
Wonder whether or not they feel 'I'
Whether or not they got what I wrote
Do they think of me as the 'blacksmith' that hit the iron 'while its hot'...
Or not?
Write up a sword, Wordsmith... real thought
Pulling at my mind from both sides
Really taught
In their hearts, will they reserve a spot...
For that which us poets wrote?
Or for the messages they feel we brought...
Forth?
Did we succeed in pointing their moral compass upwards... north?
It would be disappointing if they read, moved on and forgot
For we aim to provoke thought
Intelligence is put to better use when wisdom is sought
Against the odds, we've fought
Expressive vigilance was sold to us... we bought
Free as the winds... set sail our boat
On a sea where storms are rife
We chose to stay afloat
Stay true
So if you're still reading thank you, for giving me a few minutes of your life.
Bizzill da' Wordsmith.
