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.
