Turned off the music Tried to concentrate on my work Before I lost my groove A wall rose in front of my mind With a stern permanence to it Solid, impassable The writers of old Their determination flows through me My lungs recite their eternal insight Aloud Oh wall, **** you; fall Have you no purpose but to oppose those who want nothing more than to express, evoke and excite? Fine then I will go and become inspired, enlightened as it were My half occupied note book and my almost eraser-less pencil I will live, learn, remember, forget, move on, go back, get hurt and realize Then I shall return And give you a sermon of life, death and the balance of the universe Along with the prolific beauty and devastation of the human soul My chant shall bring you down As it has before
