Right Note BluesA Poem by LKang
""“The Right Note Blues”
Lady Luck in all her wisdom did rejoice As my lady crooned her birthday (wish) That she sang using her voice She brought me a melody served on a silver dish And swallowed with great care what was really poison Sweet majesty, my lady she ordered the scribe/ To write out the details of all her friend’s wives./ She gathered the insight within the palm of her hand. She doesn’t let me peak I’ve never tried to. Crazy is the beat played by the symphony of gold But it couldn’t stop Sir Isaac Newton from getting old My lady’s ear failed to get the notes inside of her to ring. Notes of sorrow and sweet ancient knowledge. Dr. Martin Luther King could not have thought of it so clear What men of color actually really fear That time he stood outside in the balcony of hate Cue the cries of the grieving people Rate me within the standards of the common man Then you will find that I am not as sick as them Sweater in my closet has a dollar bill for you I’ve put great care I hope you like it Crutch in a weathered leg was beginning to peel The performers thought to stop once they saw his pain was real A man waved his finger to the crowd/ Hey, I need a hand can you help me? My perfect pretty thing is now pulling on the shade Of time and innocence she must be feeling brave Uncovering the color under the symphony of gold She hesitated at first Then hopped on over. Melody chained to the pole of summarized insight My lady’s friends who almost died of fright Swinging around, stationary unable to be free. That chain is pretty good For what we payed for. Creepy is the ghost of George R Martin in the stall He is peeing on the tombstones of the fallen hero of us all Who tried to kill the master of the music just outside He pierced the navel of the conductor who recovered. Pakistan, elite Muslims tried to howl A song to the deity in charge of Removing lady mystic’s towel To see with their eyes what the fuss is about. It’s lobsided” they said “It wasn’t worth the ticket” I wish my songs could corrupt my love Starting from her ear So she can sing with great talent along side all that she fears Great dissonance sparks the piano on stage “That song is pretty good” “How did you write it” Sweet majesty soulful She is satisfied Into her cranium it spun around Curled up and fried She had no chance to speak Apologizing . © 2018 LKang |
