World…you really got me blowing
You got me so I don’t know who I’m screwing

E  x  t  r  a

You really got me down
The sin I’m in: I can’t come home again

Oh World, you really are so foul
You gotta a flow I don’t know where we’re going
Oh No; I’m thinking we’re gonna blow
Tonight the minds hear appeals to that end

You silly planet
You silly planet
You silly planet

Doomed!

Ye Earth, a turf that won’t take the blame
Though I know you’ll blame the ass in the rain
Oh World, you really are so foul
I feel the spin, but can’t say where I am

Oh World I wanna run to your core
I wanna feel all the heat while I'm sleep
Oh World you’ll really have me in there

And I’ll be so glad to shut that last door

You crazy planet
You crazy planet
You crazy planet

Doomed!

I shot the Sheriff
at the Texas border patrol
I was drivin and a smokin
really out of control

But I did not shoot the deputy
cause he was far too cool
yes, I shot the sheriff
in a face to face duel

I'm hurting inside,
On this sunny afternoon,
'Cause there's a Natural Mystic,
On a Waterloo Sunset.

Reggae Mix.

All this pirates, oh they go by
Every four year living my city,
Sorrow, worse, child with empty
Feet, but I keep praying in peace,
So I scream, so my God can hear me,
So this song comes strong and heard,
So please, let me sing,
that there’s nothing
Worse than an ignorant being happy.
And with nothing to eat.

The motion is wrong,
There’s not such a thing as freedom
I had but what I have,
Is a sorrow heart.
A sorrow heart.

But I don’t want to,
My vein is burning,
Why wait in vain,
If there’s nothing promise to come.

Stirring everything to see what
Comes, but I see they how they hide,
Wow, I see rich people getting
What they want easily, while
We have to fight.

So this Man named Bob Marley
Sang for our freedom and happiness,
Now there’s singer, singing for the money,
For their self, and they are careless.

I know now, that I’m the only one,
That raises my eyes on this.
The others just live life,
Like heart don’t beat.

So kaya, has become my close friend,
But make me think outside of the space,
There’s nothing better than defend,
Your right with a secure face.

I would never let not body
To tell me how to be,
They talk about love no more,
Or even worse let me see the true,
but i know, i'm no thee only full.

So, how that could be love,
When they have an empty heart,
Full of greatness, and anvisious these word
Does not feet, so they think
They are above.

So woman, so please don’t cry,
I have noticed that the woman does
Not forgive the one that love her,
Or love the one that forgive her.
let just live in peace.

"Get Up, Stand Up"
Why lay down your life
There is a you
That is a part of me
It is time we mend our hearts with Unity
Bleed out the hate and be set Free
His Imperial Majesty rules on HIS throne
Psalm 72, This end the Psalms of Jesse
the father
to
David his son
Who was appointed Israel's first King
Follow his line on and on
It leads you to HIS name
The Anointed ONE  

"Don't Give Up the Fight"
You know were sick and tired of the bullshit game, die and go to heaven in a Jesus name...."
"So you better get up stand up, stand up for your right."

Fellow poets,

I felt the flow in all of your poems.  I shot the sheriff was an awesome start...oh, to have more.  Was hoping lightbaron would have come back.  Natural mystic could have exploded into a kaleidoscope.  Sena wove a reggae story.  Kriticool brought out serious edginess. Isaiah pegged one of my favorites.  I can only pick one....but, truly all worthy.

Happy Holidays.

Strider :)

I like how he use words to explain the wild lifestyle, with the very down to earth explanation to the mental space

Hello mReid, and welcome to DUP!

As this is your first day here, you may not have noticed that this is a thread to a competition that closed three and a half years ago.  

If that helps.  Be well,
Jade
