Hello Steemians! The ADSactly Poetry : Lucid Lyrics Designed to Expand Minds series is designed to be a sort of platform for sharing some of my greatest works with readers.
Many of the verses I've shared and continue to share were written in collaboration with a friend of mine.
Others were written as solo projects and some made their way to the recording booth.
I've got another special piece for readers today, this is a short verse which is designed for readers to 'sing-a-long'.
The background music I wrote it to has been embedded below. I dare you to give it a shot!
I really hope readers enjoy these and let me know what they think about them.
Riveting righteousness to the roots rep the real pay the price to feel take a risk to make the wrong choice but believe’it’or’not results came in and guess I’m right again reset take a rest met the right ends resigned to realign and reflect well alright then.
The night is right to meet the knifes end or get behind the wheel may the rubber hit the road with license burn the frankincense under guise of star lightning but what what’s the right way to meet the light man or woman first tie up the loose ends make a few solid moves insurance to protect from loosin the path that we wander is the same path that we were brought up led by the elders that had taught us methodically raising their sons and daughters teaching the many ways of their mothers and fathers all amounts to the lessons we seemed to have learned a lot of.
But the knowledge inside led us to trouble and the beast inside us rumbled wasn’t enough to be content when they got us under a gun to pay the rent tired of playing defense and in a muddle but not looking for a handout well with enough hustle we could make it double but would it ever be enough to satisfy the beast inside that’s yah man thats subtle its like digging our own grave with a tin can using it as a shovel watching the time tick away true every single hour we’re getting paid but once we reach the point of no return we’ll be looking back trying to remember better days where did the time go well we didn’t pay attention to the game and the devil made a trade as those days simply slipped away so be on top of your game.
What do you love and who do you love and what do you need? Is it enough to focus on that and not succumb to greed. When is enough enough about the time when we realize these material things are just stuff, can’t take em with us whats the difference between them and moondust and we can be sure they aint gon’ miss us cause fact of the matter is that most of this ish just sits there viscous.
Want to sing along?
This piece was very fun to create. It just came so easily and really was a lot of fun to perform. Give it a try yourself and see if you can find a nice cadence for it.
No matter what, I'd very much like to know your thoughts and feelings about these, what you liked or didn't like, I'd love to hear your opinion either way!
