Ive been experimenting with Beat and Spoken Word styles and this is what came out of it
"The Lyre"
Sometimes I question why I exist
Why frustration and complications and anger persist
Why violence seems to outweigh reason
Why hatred seems to be the latest trend this season
I’d like to know what it means to Fly
What constitutes and comprises the theory of Time
And why is our Time so short
Why we waste that time on materialism, vanity and things of that sort
Why do we hurt the Mother Goddess Earth,
By decimating one another and depleting her hearth?
Why we acknowledge that the world is a mountain of shit
And the only way to change it is to grab a handful and carry it
To a place where One knows no harm
Where Love and Peace are the strongest arms
Where loving her and wooing her and fucking her are all that matters
Where the poor man is clothed and the rich tyrant is stripped of his wealth, cold and tattered
And where the poor man holds no grudge and allows the rich man to share his home
To show the rich man that he is not alone
To grant the rich man seeds of Love and teach him how to sew
And feed and breed the beautiful offspring, the Mighty Oak that continues to grow
But we don’t
Impossible for the Mighty Oak has been cut down
To construct the rich man’s armoire that compliments his bed sheets of down
Reduced to a Lonely Stump, unsympathetic to the Goddess’ frown
Mankind can no longer hear her cries
For our ear drums have been pierced by shrieks and squeals and bombs
For the aesthetic theory has lost its value and the Lyre no longer plays a song
He plays a ballad mourning the loss of Humanity
Mourning the Peyote soldiers and Tyrants of Christianity
For the Lyre is indiscriminant
Whether one be a poet a prophet or a militant
Whether one may or may have never existed
Whether one may or may not have ever persisted
In this life of Vanity and tongue-forked politicians
In this life of meaningless and unnecessary systems
The Lyre believes in unconditional and unrestricted Love
The Lyre is not God, for God serves only to divide
And the Lyre’s only reason is to provide
Love, Peace, Acceptance, Happiness, and Hope
The Lyre wants you all to know
You are the Lyre and I am the Lyre
And together we can change the world!
