Lyrics Iii Poetry Contest

"WITHER/Lyrics III- Dream Theater" poetry contest entry.
Don’t rock the boat, they said Over and over and again and again “Don’t rock,” can infect the brain Unclog my head: harvest the grain O, we need to rock before the music withers Before the mean ones become the winners A certain music there is That cries out for brothers and sisters To shock, join the flock, bust through the blocks – Rock the boat, rock the train Don’t hate the refrain: Not to rock the boat Reignite your brain; no more brain-drain! Dazzle, frazzle, ragmatazzle your brain ‘Tired of that old game They wanna deny change! It’s happening again and again Don’t you see it, feel it, deal it? Change will break your chains – Don’t chain your brain Brother, Sister! Something’s gonna give Even when Jesus comes again Something’s gonna change Vote the rock; Rock the boat Rock the Vote, Vote the Rock Rock of the Ages Unleash the SELF in Thee.
