River’s Soul

     Twenty first century blood
Is the new blood I reflect in my art
Inside my body I feel the pain
Still beating is my shattered heart

Though cautiously I walked to the
Edge I felt compelled to take the dive
Now I’m swimming for my life
Praying that I can survive

In the beginning my love for you
It burned like a wild fire
But the words of your truth were
Spoken from the mouth of a liar

Now I feel the pulling forces from the
Gravity of deep Space black holes
And we can’t recover from our mistakes
The power is lost from the controls

And when I’m alone
I dream that I can runaway
The damage is unmendable
And I’ve no reason to stay

The copper bullets fired are just as
Deadly as lead in the battle we fight
I’m praying for the way out, can
Anyone show me the light

Or has it been exterminated and for
The rest of my life I’ll be unwhole
And I’ll drift through life a broken
Man with a River’s Soul

This is a poem using song titles from the
First CD of a band called The Warning.
The CD title is 21st Century Blood,
The Warning are three sisters from Monterey Mexico who fell in love with American Classic Rock and began playing their instruments and writing songs at a very early age. It’s Phenomenal when this CD was released the Bass player was 11, the Drummer
Was 14 and the lead guitar player was 16
They all do vocals and play Piano.
Black Holes is my favorite and the Drummer is singing and playing Piano.
They have Four CD’S out now
21st Century Blood
Queen Of The ****** Scene
Error
Keep Me Fed
I use the songs from the first CD and use them in order adding stuff for content and rhyme. Starting with the first song and ending with the last song.
Also using the last song for my title.
