Thoughts Too Loud
My thoughts are too loud to
not let out,
But I don't
know what to
write about,
the rhymes spout
but they all sound the same,
they fall from
the clouds where
my soul hides,
I crawl down
from the skies,
High on the
otherside,
mezmerized
by colors painting life
into time,
diversions
from the grind
find aching
entropy
in my mind,
waiting to be defined
by signs with
no meaning,
I'm breathing but wheezing,
I'm living but dying,
I'll seize this
fading day
with my free
shaking hands,
watching greed parading
through a maze,
with a map
saved for the
highly paid
to navigate this place,
while the poor
pay the rich
just to pray to their God
for a way
to make sense
of the grey
all the fakes
condescend
to portray our mistakes,
in the end
they will flake,
we've forsaken common sense
we'll wake from
the waiting
our rights have been taken
we'll march in
convocations
protesting damnation
we'll unite to escape from
sardonic corporations
it seems they
own the nation,
fallen to temptation,
supressing translation,
marketing starvation,
and selling salvation,
let's burn the inflation
and paint our frustration,
let's plant transspiration,
the earth needs hydration,
an upward filtration
of funding,
a system,
making us the victims
of capitalism,
the rhythm
sounds wicked,
depressing statistics
predicted conviction,
they've written prescriptions,
tickets to addiction
to forget affliction
and outrun the friction,
conundrums depicted
only crumbs they're spittin'
landing on
wine stained shirts,
wasted like
watered lawns,
in a drought, that seems wrong,
like open eyes at dawn
waiting on
words from God,
darkness gone
but light brings shadows out,
hide the thing, stop that sound,
don't speak we're not allowed,
just be part of the crowd,
shut your heart, you're too loud
you're not smart, just look down,
just be cute, don't be proud,
pull your roots, from the ground,
I gotta stop these thoughts,
their cruel sound
can't define
rotten scars
in my mind
dragged down by
society's blunt lies,
glowing dots in the sky,
retorts caught in my spine,
like snapshots,
frowned on in second thought,
I cannot
take this cruel onslaught of
oppression,
they taught us to hate on
ourselves and lust for death,
hold your breath,
you must wait
for the best,
it will come when nothings left.
