Feet in the sand, head in the clouds
Reliving tomorrow,
but his heart’s in the ground
Fed to disaster; no sight, no sound
Deprived of the world
He was meant to astound
& never will he be found
To gather all the minds he’s shaken
Embrace all the hearts he’s awakened
To mark all the boundaries he’s known
& break ’em
Feel the fire, released from
the ghost of achin’
hatin’, raidin’ & hellraisin’
condemned to rot in the name of greed
By men with ties
& men of lies
With bigger deals & all guns blazin’
I dreamed that I saw through his eyes
The times he knew he could not fail
Before being offered a reprise
With wrong questions, a tricky trail
With knives
& brakes & butterflies
A land enshrouded in a wail
A hell installed over the fence
To reveal an age of free will
& a common lack of sense
So were your stupid whims worth
this fragmented excellence?
Is the great parade of tastelessness
Why we are all directionless?
Rejected, raised in restlessness
Told we were free – yet hesitant
When patching missing elements
We’re irrelevant!
Given a world of wars & taught to ”settle them”
Detached from our brothers
We were trained to battle them
With such dreadfulness
An illusion of benevolence
A lie we’re told
To keep their hold on the trash they call inheritance
we were forced into believing
you can’t raise your voice
offer evidence
no words! every wrong thought,
any free move can be perilous
Simple… close your eyes & you won’t see
A world of wealth that won’t diminish its misery
The tracks that lead to nowhere on the crossroad of history
& a generation of halfway masterminds
between deliverance & a delivery
but I want to see the side
born of a gentler tide
to breathe without fear that it would
rise or subside
I wanna get outside
Give me the great outside
A taste of life I should’ve known
but never even tried
N.B.

Dammnnnnnnn..
There’s somethin’.. about this that I absolutely love.
I’m thinkin’.. but can’t place my finger on it.
Anyways it’s AMAZIN’ !!
Loved the choice of punctuation, & the rhyme scheme.
that’s good to hear, bro.. there was a little trouble with this one xD any suggestions?
Your rhymes are excellent, as always! I picture you in a poetry bar, (high of course) 😄😂 spitting these rhymes in a microphone, rhythmically, waving your hands to the words, while the audience snaps their fingers to your vibes. 😊😄 I love it! 😊
I picture me high too, but it’s kinda hard to imagine the rest xD thanks for the kind words 🙂 means a lot
Ha Ha! Of course, dude! 😀
Where does it all come from? I have a strange feeling that everything you write comes from the same place. The same polymorphic story.
Reliving tomorrow… wow.
You have and always will have the biggest fan in me.
I’m working on two stories now, & they have this weird connection, so yeah.. but I had no plan to do that, it just came out.. plus, maybe you’ve heard what’s going on in this small country of mine?
thanks for everything, man! I’m happy to have your support 🙂
