"rnb" poems - Hello Poetry

I used to put these headphones on. And at once, the whole world was gone And the music did no wrong Till I found myself doin’ it all day long. But I still kept these headphones on Because my headset drowned my strife, Cut through it like a knife, Till I was bound to the music for all my life. I used to sit in earnest at my computer chair ITunes and my iPod in hand as I prepare Another playlist. Indecisive between hip-hop and RnB While I let humanity’s problems sit on a wait-list. But I just left these headphones on. Not a care or thought about global pollution Amidst our world’s confusion All signs pointing to a troubled conclusion, But yet, me and my headphones ignore the solutions. Why? Because music forever plays, That even when solutions were raised, I just sat there… As the environment died everyday. Because all I did was listen to these headphones. As I laid awake in my bed, Nothing running through my head, Except music, And I felt alive listening to the words that was said When in reality Inside I was dead But I still left these headphones in So I can block out my parent’s groans when I know that I have disappointed them Maybe I’m just missing the point again. And all the while my dads fist connecting with the door As he has always done before, in the past Choosing to ignore, with music full blast I found myself more and more detached. Not only my parents, but even the politicians are itchin’ To get me to listen, Hopin and wishin that This generation would eventually find its ambition. I used to think that iTunes could do no wrong. And that it was all I ever needed Because all it was to me was a program full of songs But I didn’t like where my life was headed. And god it’s amazing, the word iTunes. Such a fitting name Because I tuned my friends out And there is no one else to blame As I tuned my parents out Our relationship will never be the same As I tuned the world out Now look at who I became. So now I’m taking these headphones off. Because I don’t want to stay connected Acting like I was totally unaffected When in fact, the world around me I neglected So I’ll change, No longer will these headphones hold the reins I am cutting off all of my chains And I know a life ahead of me still remains That without these headphones, There is so much more to gain.

Headphones

I used to put these headphones on. And at once, the whole world was gone And the music did no wrong Till I found myself doin’ it all day long. But I still kept these headphones on Because my headset drowned my strife, Cut through it like a knife, Till I was bound to the music for all my life.
