Jo Jo Part One

Coercion began as the ground surrounds the seed baring life and truth A kingdom of soil An army of soiled crickets A pubescent king Presenting Jo Jo the leader of the region and sire to the throne Forced to lead the masses basis chases hatred Bandaged pride and safety fade to choices proven Proof then fakes an echo bodies err in silence Famine breaks the cadence Medleys swarm the triumph Scores of soldiers relish death and promised feeding Life before Jo Jo was no solution to death a change had to come Then Jo Jo noticed his father was his falseness But Amon blamed him Sin decides his ending slaves disguised as flowers Power given sequence Family shades the color Green and Gray and Purple color coded bias Race explains mistakes Usurpers came in all shades Amon dies replaced Jo Jo only eight takes his chosen face as king and claims his own crown From racial bias through hate and bloodshed change comes as a thief that hops Idols worshiped falsely fall destroyed by candor Grassless mounds are woken Growth is seen as honor Safely karma changes things to thoughts unchanging Harmony by chirp from shade to shade and by birth from chancel to pew Harmony and hope cricket to cricket to you The purpose the same The difference is truth that is muted by violence The surplus the stain "Extra ordinary problems Solve themselves in theory" "Reason halters silence speaking toxic vantage" "Listen! Time is shortened!" "Judah suffers judgement!" Jumpers tremble frozen chirps fatigued tranquil Statements rally Judah chirps fatigued then fidget Changed and pure of anger Judah reaps endurance They don't wonder "How?" And no they don't wonder "Why?" they feel mistreated They are who they are because of why they were made as seeds of His will They think together and so they see together yet endurance doubts To frown and endure deserves the sight He creates Clouds drop amongst doubt Only Jo Jo hears their purpose for living now "To All Laugh Out Loud!" Jah renames the Frowns The clouds evade the crickets Crickets become smiles Smiles become incisive Phylum's notice glory Laughter buffets purpose Awe inspiring cloudlets ripen Skyward vision deepens Giggles visit peril As the Heavens shake the voice inside Jo Jo quakes Exigency speaks Commiseration silent Determination Force of Inertia An avowal laid sitting their security then tense endearment Faithful laughter harkens Fractured safety mended Loyal standard glisten Fear of God is followed Students smile in spirit...
