A New Age

This can be taken however you wish. Be it a rap, or spoken word. It flows as either one.

[Patient]

Hey doctor, doctor, I’m not sick

But can you help me?

I’m really not insane so please spare me the therapy

In sickness and in health, my voice speaks crystal clearly

So, kindly please share this one-on-one with me.

 

Why do people get things that can simply be refused?

Why do people even take the time to pick and choose?

I guess we got bitten by the snake called Greed,

Tricking us into getting things that we really don’t need

We dig and throw ourselves into a financial grave

Thinking DAMN about all the choices we’ve made

Yet we simply ignore all the visible pain and suffering

Paying mind only to dead credit scores hovering.

 

[Doctor]

Well it seems my dear sir you have a lot on your mind

So why don’t I jot some of this down to pass some time

I’m a very good listener, so please continue.

Don’t take it the wrong way.

I’m not ignoring you.

 

[Patient]

It was over when Luther King gave the speech of his life

But that was the beginning of a new struggle to the strife

America’s straight up with it

Canada’s below the underline

I’m talking the differences in our every day lifetime.

They beat down with slurs from their one track minds

Yet I look at the hypocrisy through their ignorant eyes

Setting a future for storm clouds to follow soon.

Yet they wonder why about our impending doom?

There are the ones who mention God and the one-way truth

Who shouldn’t prance around and stomp their hooves.

And the stallions roar out with the neighs of Religion

Put them back in their stable

Who the f**k are they kidding?

 

[Doctor]

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa.

Don’t go there, son. I’m a Christian an-

 

[Patient]

 Well maybe you should shut the hell up and listen.

They say it’s the end

I guess we’re on the same page.

You call it 2012, I call it the dawn of a new age

Maybe we can achieve this whole “peace and no war”

And finally fulfill what King and Lennon strived for.

Author's Note

This is Part 2 of my 1 hour writing. Love Can't Break Me and A New Age were two songs I wrote within an hour. I could've wrote more if I wasn't being occupied. <.<
