Turn Around

Here it comes, Judgment Day

Don’t be afraid, don’t run away

From solitary reasons to why we’re slaved

Fall to your knees, overweighed

Policies broken from false words spoken

A frog’s in my throat, but I’m not chokin’

Until I’m done revoking, laws against “toking”

But I ain’t one continuously hoping

Continuously smoking, our lives in spirit

The truth is there, we just don’t hear it

I’m serious, if you’re hearing us

Or just one trapped delirious?

All the words out of my mouth

Speak the truth, that’s what I’m about

A confident profit with a will to fight

Bringing hatred alive with the words I write

 

It’s too late for a turn around

It’s blasting so GET DOWN!

Just wait for a turn around

And what’s lost may soon be found now

It’s too late for a turn around

It’s blasting so GET DOWN!

Just wait for your turn around, turn around, turn around!

(BOOM!) GET DOWN!

 

All will hail, all will trail

Unto a colony that will eventually fail

We’ll eventually unveil lost written scripture

“Follow ME.” This is rough to figure

 

Picture your world in stems and thorns

 

 

Fathom “Death” before you’re born

 

Yet you’re torn between some system’s promise…

 

If you got it? STOP IT!

 

Pop pills!?. How much pot fills?

The minds of those programmed to kill?

Not many, eh? It’s not man made…

But it’s plenty fine for authority man raid

Confiscated evidence bleeds

Silent screams make sure they’ll succeed

Until we start wondering just who are we?

Everything under the lies except free

 

It’s too late for a turn around

It’s blasting so GET DOWN!

Just wait for a turn around

And what’s lost may soon be found now

It’s too late for a turn around

It’s blasting so GET DOWN!

Just wait for your turn around, turn around, turn around!

(BOOM!) GET DOWN!

 

Give me a mic…let me scream to the earth

Give me a light…let me strike first

Give me a night…to drift back into dirt

Give me a life…that’s just not cursed

And I’ll give you a piece of mind and message

With a chance to seize your cries and lessons

Innocent Defendant; Guilty Plaintiff

Praying in a world with a transparent Matrix

 

It’s too late for a turn around

It’s blasting so GET DOWN!

Just wait for a turn around

 

And what’s lost may soon be found now

It’s too late for a turn around

 

It’s blasting so GET DOWN!

 

Just wait for your turn around, turn around, turn around!

 

(BOOM!) GET DOWN!

You put a lot of feeling behind your words. It's a very powerful piece. Most have given up on the idea of rhyming their poems but apparently you haven't.
Most don't understand the reasons we write about what we do but from your words everyone can tell just what you are trying to get through to them. A well spoken truth, put into poetry.

What little actual freedoms we have are important. We must retain them at all costs. It starts by being vocal...letting others know the urgency of the matter. Our founding forefathers saw the error of the day. The error they were making in their decisions. They did not intend for us to be bound by any particular rule, but to adapt each rule as we see fit to the times of our days. Not to be manipulated by businessmen. We are the boss of our nation...not the government. They are public servants employed by the people for the people. Likewise monetarily compensated by the people for the people. Yet, our funds go to war machines without our consent. Our money is used to line pockets of already rich businessmen tending to their interests, not ours. Once again, without our consent.
You might wonder how this relates to your poem. It does in every way, my friend. For it is by this same token that our introspection is founded. We are governed by our own rule. Which is, by design and nature an every changing rule. We adapt as we live our lives. For it is through experience that we become wiser. And with wisdom, we see our past errors. Therefore, we have to revise our internal rules that apply to the moment we live in. If not, then we fail to grow, prosper the rewards of our efforts, and go contrast to our enlightenment back into the darkness we strive to leave.
Another thought provoking piece that carries much more weight than meets the eye, my good friend. Outstanding!

This such a powerful piece. I truly enjoyed reading it in entirety.

Very poetic in itself, this piece seems somehow ...Different from your other pieces but not in a bad way. I love how it flows and the content in itself is so real but yet it seems like it was torn out of a fantasy novel.

Great piece, I really loved it!

Wow what a piece so much truth written here. The desperation of a chaotic society. Very well written. I could feel the power in this piece. Excellent job.
