Time

Life changes and rearranges

So they relocate us to different cages 

The generation that made us 

This outrageous and famous

They proceeded to name us

Everyone said X was bad 

But Y proved to be shameless

A world of technology adapted and turned heinous 

Hackers and criminals, pirates and thieves

The shadows in the night that freely roam the streets

A knife in the sleeve, a knight brought to his knees

A gun to believe a night one perceive

As time passes the rifts slowly decrease 

Government curfew decree, in a time of chaos 

The reality sets in right after the health disease 

Who receives the legacy when the next one leaves

 As one grows old the mind closes but can still feel the breeze

When the time comes either side will willingly hand over the keys

While the other takes the wheel on a ride to be set free. 

But we do understand i feel the same way about Z

Skinny jeans are for girls, cross your legs and drink tea

Cheers to the last of a dying breed

 We followed through with our threats, your not a Gangster to me

Id shank you and leave, 

Wouldn't even run, ill walk away from the scene, 

The beast can always change but 

The 

Sheep 

Will 

Always 

Scream

I absoloutely adore this for so many reasons we simply don't have the time. I love the writing style and the way the rhythm is kept just right throughout. I love the subject matter, looking and reflecting on the state of our surroundings. I love the words and the descriptive prowess in the lines.
I adore the first lines : Life changes and rearranges
So they relocate us to different cages " it's so powerful and so true. Keep it up man! XxXx

As always your lyrical poetry and its unique delivery un flash my stuffed capillaries and open my mind to intricate conspiracies which in retrospect are our current reality. Powerful themes in this one Blitzed.

Wow! This is some of your best writing! The rhyme scheme is solid, though several times you allow that pattern to stray a bit, but that's a GOOD thing! Keeping a solid rhyme pattern as long as it serves is great; however if you can throw little mechanical deviations in the reader takes notice, letting them know to pay attention to the shifts. Your wordplay is, as usual, as good as ANYONE else's is, so there's not much left to critique. Great writing, sir. take care...dan

[BLitZeD]

as always, thanks man. glad you liked it

[Celie Rose]

This poem is really good. Real talk..Very deep in nature..with each passing generation badness will repeat itself from generation to future generation, a continued cycle....continually worsening..."The beast can always change but The Sheep Will Always Scream." This sentence says it all. Well written..Keep writing.

[BLitZeD]

thanks for all your encouragement

My eye scanned the poem and things jumped out to me, I saw the sheep will always scream as well as capital X and Y. A flash of thoughts than a reference for X and Y chromosomes, then I started reading thinking of cloning sheep, even the first two sentences seem to match. Ha Ha! I had to stop and start over halfway through wondering what had I missed, then I saw (The generation that made us) and it fell into place and I am still laughing at myself. I guess that is the way it is with us early baby boomers, we are always jumping the gun always ready to pull the trigger :~)
