Grass Roots

If music is a country then Jazz is the capital
              Rock is it's wildchild
              Folk the genesis
              Soul it's nutrition
              And the classical is a temple


Under the Bridge

Passerby echo the frustrations of the world
Under the bridge
Tall tales of courage
Outpours from angry souls
Yet the toughest of them all still hide
Under the bridge
Grass roots & neo-souls speak words
In the form of hyperboles
Leaving actions hidden like water
Under the bridge

Payload

Drought had entered 
into grass roots. 
It was a perfect landing. 

Sequential. You are  
chopped into pieces. A shoal 
of fish will make you disappear.   

The vacancy will call 
a choreographed entry. The 
descent will find a goldenrod.     

Snow-capped peaks. It 
is difficult to stay for a long time. 
You climb down. River remains dry.

No Strings

A fast in hurry. you
pretend that you
were dead.

The legend survives,
putting the land’s blood
in the grass roots.

The tremors had started
in the blue flame. A lunatic
calls for the moon to explain.

The tides were not coming ?
Watching hopelessly;
the decline of sinkers.

A watershed of humility.
The river has left the
body of water.

Grass Roots

We nurture shrubs and flowers
to brighten up our days
and set out all the colours
in beautiful arrays,
we're full of admiration
for the trees,grown from a seed,
but what we cultivate the most
is just a commen weed,
usually it's green
except when there's a drought,
it's also what most sports today
cannot do without,
it typifies the country side
more than fields of corn,
but when it's grown in a town
it's called a garden lawn.

The Game

Rap is quick, witty and fun.

Poetry is smooth, rhythmic and heartfelt.

Rap and poetry had a love child.

A daughter, named Spoken Word.

She grew to maintain the better characteristics of her parents;

From Rap, she took freestyle, freedom, and grass roots movement.

From Poetry, she took imagery, theme, and voice.

Together, all three, as common forms of expression,

spread to every rapper, poet and storyteller in the world.
