It's a wonderful life

It's a wonderful life

A Poem by Poetic Justice
"

if you live it

"

 

Formatted my brain because the sentiment was dry

Poked myself a thousand times in the third eye

And the lost souls who deserved the credit

They didn’t get it

Didn’t understand the concept, totally inept

Flagrantly damaging the process of communication  

A proclamation, while standing knee deep in damnation

Praying for salvation to a wooden carving

While your spiritual self is starving

When He specifically said no idol

Your virtue is suicidal

We are pleading ignorance

As long as there is cash advance

Because all the while you’re living fast

But not dying young

Swearing it’s ok and long as it’s in your mothers tongue

I was here first, doesn’t matter when I came

White, black, black, white we’re all the same

Really? You read that in a book on Political Correctness

But you reject them none the less

It’s a familiar crime, I know you, have you got the time?

Backwards coming forward and you sidle up and say

Blood is thicker than water anyway

Chaos is becoming the norm

I can see on the horizon, it’s a perfect storm

I protest alone

I am blessed, atone

Cleaning the dirt off my brow

I can see it all now

Hold on, it’s gonna be a fast ride

Grab your heart, it’s cold outside.

Some of the better writers can throw together a string of lines that sound good when they roll off the tongue. Really talented writers can create a piece that intelligently articulates a graduated series of concepts through progressive stanzas into a high level expression of concept. And then there are the writers who can weave both of those together and do it with a distinctive style, in short, who can really DO THE DANCE!

You have a voice that rolls with "haute sarcasmo" sprinkled with a tastefully self-depricating sort of wry wit. A fun-poking humor flavors the socially conscious frosting while layers of cleverly articulated commentary foster that kind of heart-reading insight that makes our valves flutter with disillusion even as the guffaw is echoing from out lips. And all that is squarely arranged atop a simply stated logically presented view. Almost as the logic trail in a debate.

These are the characteristics that separate novice from master. Its clear which set you fit into!
