Podcast Transcript #2: Spoken Word

 \

Still kind of unsure what to talk about. But I figured this time around I'll just do something I'd always wanted to do. A spoken word rap kind of thing. I dont really have a name for it

. It's just this wierd haphazard jumble of ideas thrown in with no instrumental. But I feel like it's a good exercise for trying to improve vocabulary, rhythm and flow while doing something fun and talking about something real. Or at least thats what I hope it is. Here it goes:

 Thoughts drift and eyelids grow weary.

The World is lit aflame. These are trying times we live in.

You're thrown into a pit of vipers, fangs dipped in bitter blame. Bite at you till you give in.

They dont pity you, the residue of the city's sinister within you is finna change. 

They send away. Ive lost count of all the attacks i read about on the news. Kids born lately- what kind of a world are they born into. 

Swept under the rug. Your entire world feels cleft asunder. The smoke invades your conscience and You're left to wonder.

Constantly waitin for the cost to be paid but they actin like its all finna fade erased.

First you gotta put out that Fire you started, the corpse of pride you cremate.

sit around the ashes and start a conversation

 afresh with a clean slate.

Faces bleed long with pent up rage, flashing white as canines you bite deep within.

blunt and forceful the past their eyes dont fathom a future.

Caught up in strife that goes on lasting, the struggle aint noithing they re new ta

Here I am and I hope I stay grateful. And make a difference when the day comes if and when  I am able

I hope I dont forget. I hope I stay remembering. 

I hope If i do falter and alter course someone's there to correct me.

I hope I dont become blind despite being sighted,

eyelids open wide you do everything except see.
