Dear Dan

Dear Dan
I appreciate
You as a fan
Of my work
But I hope
That the truth
About me doesn't hurt
The Justice League
Just leaves us
20,000 leagues
Under the sea
Drowning in
Our iniquities
As the realities
Are mere fallacies
In our hearts and
And minds
Later to find in
Our mines
We might need
A pick axe to
Pick at the
Walls of our souls
Looking for diamonds
And not fool's gold
We now know
That hope needs
A spark
While justice needs
A jump start
Ground the negative
So the positive
Can start this
Vehicle of change
Closing the hood
Is no good
Whether it is
In this car or not
We won't get
Far
Cause this fuel
Is not biodegradable
It will need
Temperance and other
Positive materials
To be recyclable
So when the engine
Of hatred is ignited
It makes the chambers of
Inhumanity Combustible
As pistons drive
From the blood
Of the camshaft
Making the axles turn
But the rear end
Is dragging cause
The differential
Can't differentiate the
Oil of oppression from
The antifreeze of
acceptance as
The transmission
Is missing gears
You can hear it
Clear in the fears
Of humanity
As the cogwheels
Grind in the mind
Cause taking it to
AAMCO is a no no
Cause they really
Don't know what
This vehicle needs

Rico, Ah you wrote it in hip-hop lyrical style. Get Eminem to sing it. Sample some music from Rush, "2112" As far as I know you and I are OK, fine. Things get said sometime. Still like you, still like your writing. Especially this. take care...dan
