Come Out and Be Heard

Poet to poetry hide me from society melt me in the fervor of sullen brevity !
 there are lines being drawn in the sand let the reader understand in the furtherance of the plan...
 A challenge to be set free is a question of time use logical persuasion from behind
 the clock on the wall has holes in the side with a sought grained polish of dust
 talk with me walk with me through the passage of time with a highway with cars without tires
 the mere notion of intellectualism has taken a back seat toward compromise to its twisted lies...
 no one has a voice anymore no one wants to be heard
 Disturbed
 corporate greed with fat cats with blue hats filter through the streets
 agruments ensue over yesterdays left over newspaper yet we tend to rattle the chain

society you don't have a part in me cause you lied to me
 saying the claim I am what I do you have bitten off far more then you could every chew
 you walk the New York mile taking the Hudson Ferry
 hysteria
 people get mad at me cause I'm in support of gay rights the fact that we should coexist
 your going to have a fight with my fist if you don't resist yet you think I' m so one sided
 take you back in a blast from the past 1975 watching the Donny & Marie show waiting for my pops to make me those little pizzas in the oven
 those good old days from the past having so much fun with a hope that it would last
 today we are devided minds are plugged with evil destruction
 everyone texts & no more need for family get togethers around the kitchen table
 lock themselves inside their proverbial room waiting to seal their tomb
 yet at one time we can climb together as a melting pot for the furtherance of love

buying your time there's a great ladder to climb until you reach heaven's door lest I implore
 today we got Nas, Fetty & Snoop hitting the famed rap scene busting out dope joints.
 got to kick it to the curb as if you have heard they cry for peace in the woods laying on the grass.
 No one today gets by on any free pass we got bills to pay plans to be made
 we are the bold the blue and the brave letting are stars shine brightly in the midnight hour
