Harlem Renaissance Song
By: Aoharu V1: The days are always hot… it’s like hell Bugs crawling around, crittering Destroyed crops, no food On the bottom isn’t so fun As they would like you to think The Pinks and The Blues Are thought to be separated Can’t mix to make purple… Although purple is prettier than both C: There! Right There! I see! Words mingling against each other. The way to freedom, our salvation. Like water, One molecule moves, so do the rest are to follow. I heard Cleveland is good. No, New York’s better! Let’s go Chicago. Why not Detroit? The promise land is filled with green. Working hard, we’ll get some of that. V2: The mute has been turned off But the chitterling is very soft A shiny object came to me in my dream Of a pure gold color, music filled the air, a sweet sounding resolve I found the object, It is mine forever now Use it to show you all The music, It has shown me How the music inspires people, Oh, especially the Blues A culture of their own to claim a link back to their heritage Songs, poems, music, art pieces, novels, All for the world to see… C: There! Right there! See? Words mingling against each other. The way to freedom, our salvation. Like water, starts with a tickle, then it all pours out. Writing, singing, crafting, making, various instruments The promise land is here, with sweet music. Filling the soul up with joy. Speading around through the air, all the love it would feel V3: The stolen words Can’t be replace The music is now damaged Went from Left to Right The Right is very charming to the Pinks Something good now dissolved into nonsensical goo Pinks eat it up like their processed fake food Forget about the ones who made it Resounding anger rising That’s mine. We did the original. So who cares? They don’t. They don’t wanna listen... The few who do, to be silenced. It goes on for many more centuries Over again, and again, and again, and again, and again… Many times, over, again, and again, and again, over and over… Like a broken record… © 2013 Aoharu_Kale |
