Kenny Gwena Poet Rhyme

Larry Oaks

Yo, Larry Oaks, you thought it shocking
When you got hit in the noggin
With a pound of brick soaked in haterade
Like it's something out of outer space

Take it or leave, ain't nothing to this case
We've all been down this road before
Upon a place, upon a time, need I say more?
Mugged and murdered for all our treasures

But we refuse to take the fall for society's ills
I don't know, it's not your fault
But in the end it's your call
Choose what you are going to do, sit

Or stand up and ask questions
Beg to be heard, for what it's worth
Ask questions and draw parallels
And reach conclusions

Is your purpose what somebody else made up
Or was it revealed to you in a vision?
Put the gun down, son
And stop pandering to mass delusion

I beg you, tread with trepidation
Life is short but your insolence will make it shorter
Don't let this end in conflagration
We have all the laws, but still no order

And I'm getting older
Can't spend retirement watching over my shoulder
If you insist on your right to insist
I say you are on your own, but never alone

So what does this whole thing recall?
Let's wait and see how it resolves
Divide the plug equally 
Between observers and contenders
And watch with arms akimbo
