Throwin My Beat Down
Calibration or coincidence
Prosperity or pestilence
I've got an herbal verbal
Garden growing incense
I go with the flow
Flowing waters follow
You don't know
What works, what doesn't work
Waterworks
Pouring out tears all these years
Of unspoken fears and who hears
In the night when everything's alright
But ain't right.
Who turned out the lights,
Extinguished my rights
To choose and I lose
Ain't no winners here my dear
You better steer clear
Of the darkness and fear.
Just look to the sky, don't ask why
And get high
on the atmosphere.

I love it because it is different and it could easily be made into a song 😊

Excellent! Med' diddy!

The rhyming is phenomenal, and you maintain a steady beat; would love to hear this set to guitar. Great transition from melancholy to release into hope
