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.
