A Time To Repent

Music from "Triumph" by Wu Tang. Just felt like throwing something together.... :O}

I almost
Gave into the wrong thoughts
Almost
Got lost
As terms go
I once was blind
But now I see
There's more to me
Than
I decree within my mind
I always seem to find a resolution
Putting forth
What I believe to be
The wisest solution

Truth be told
If we don't have heart
We don't have soul
If we lose our soul
We lose our spirit
What's the use in opening our mouths
Using words of definition
When nobody can hear it
There's a difference in
Listening and
Tuning in
I've learned
Pain goes no further than the skin
Time comes to yearn towards revelation


A wise man once told me to
Be a circle
Perfection comes from rehearsal
What has a beginning shouldn't
Have an end
Always defend what you know is right
Give focus on what deserves the fight
Carry the torch leading to the final light

Life's forever changing
We're found rearranging
Thoughts and emotions
Like tides move letters in bottles
Across oceans
Your only given so many tokens
Until your life is spent
We can either transgress
Or repent
Drop like beads of water
Or form like cement

The mind carries more weight
Than the flesh
In our heart
We possess
What binds us
To the footprints
We leave behind
Talk about
Being free
When it’s ourselves
Who build the prisons where we become confined

Consistently it’s been said
It’s time for change
Time for THE DREAM to be displayed
A place where we all act more
Like brothers and sisters
Speak out
Aiming for listeners
Not aiming our pistols

I too believe the day will come
When we all will come together
I’m just not sure
if it will be for the bad
Or for the better

A wise man once told me to

WoW!
I really like this one!!
And the line about how we imprison ourselves is so true.
This was amazing from start to finish.
Great job young one!

A very practical poem filled with honesty and truth...I especially liked "when its ourselves who build the prisons where we are confined'...

It's about choices.

Beautiful work.

The title was a perfect one for this. The ending was so thoughtful.....I have not been by in a while to read your work so I just wanted to stop by....I can't wait to get to the rest of your work soon ... Cheers,lea

You seem to value self control and morals. That's commendable. This was very heartfelt and worth respect.

We can either transgress
Or repent
Drop like beads of water
Or form like cement

I LOVE HEARING FROM YOU,,UR WORDS WERE WORDS OF TRUTH first two paragraphs ,then came that wise men,he went on and on and on,,this wiseman has a saying it is wrong to beat someone with a lie ,,it is demonic
to beat them with truth,,

too much too soon will spoil the effect one gives,,better to sprinkle into a tea cup thus filling it up,than to rush water in it ,only to find u only saved a little,,,overall as a enigma would say nice lampshades ,,peace my friend wizthom

Good poem, loved the quote from Amazing Grace in there...

[Ralphy]

This is a well-composed poem with so much thought. and feeling I enjoyed reading it, then playing it, and that what really captivated me. To listen to your words meshed with the rhythm and the actual voice gave the poem a different meaning, a more soulful meaning. Nice write.
