Unless

An answer to the polical strife - compromise and a whole lot of it - soon.

Thoughts swirl through my mind

 

Spinning, fumbling, shuffling, shambling

 

Words flow from my mouth, screaming, mumbling, cursing, rambling

 

What is this world coming to?

 

Who are THESE people?

 

What are THEY thinking?

Am I one of them?

 

Simple answers are not to be found

 

No matter what anyone says

 

Everyone has a different ONE, ONE for THIS, ONE for THAT

 

LEFT and RIGHT, THEY FIGHT, THEY STRIKE

 

How much is for the issues and how much is for the PARTY LINE?

 

NO SOLUTIONS to be had

 

          ~ Unless ~             ~ Unless ~

 

ALL MUST BEND OR WE ALL BREAK

 

Politics come up and arguments explode into being

 

Hate talk even among friends

 

Stings my eyes and stifles my soul

 

Dims my light

 

Thoughts and worries swirl

 

Swirl, swirl, swirl

 

Driving me mad

 

I can not solve the ills

 

We can not solve the ills

 

Unless

I couldn't have said it better. Rant or no rant, this is excellent!

Working up for the next slam? I liked it!

[Photochick]

I performed this one at the last slam and added the line, "am I one of those people" on the fly so had to come in and edit this. I liked it. Yes, this one went over well with the crowd too for the most part. I think I may add more to it later before performing again, adding more about the left and the right, but then again, I may just leave it simple. I sort of like it just simple and to the point. It says it all. Two party system is killing out country.
