Lyrical Ability, and how to use it.

At the bus stop a homeless man
Said he wanted to tell me about his best friend.
Well, he kinda smelled, his clothes were dirty,
But the bus wouldn’t arrive ’til 8:30.
There’s a light in his voice and peace in his eyes,
And his smile is as wide as what we call the sky.
Well, I’ve got troubles, but I’ve got no troubles.
It’s true, it’s wonderful.
With a song and a chant and blessings in his hand,
Offering rain on this droughted land.
On the streets here I’m invisible,
when he greets me, I’m invincible,
I never thought I’d feel this way
I’ve lost a lot, but it’s ok.
This magic, it isn’t magic
I’m just resting in the hands of spirit
And the pain in my belly, the snide remarks
Just reminders of where to start.
There’s a light in his voice and peace in his eyes,
And his smile is as wide as what we call the sky.
Well, I’ve got troubles, but I’ve got no troubles.
It’s true, it’s wonderful.
With a song and a chant and blessings in his hand,
Offering rain on this droughted land.
He stood up as the bus arrived, I saw a flicker in his eye,
He kinda smelled, his clothes were dirty,
But I was no longer in a hurry.
I turned to this man who had a best friend,
And say hey, tell me again.
There’s a light in his voice and peace in his eyes,
And his smile is as wide as what we call the sky.
Well, I’ve got troubles, but I’ve got no troubles.
It’s true, it’s wonderful.
With a song and a chant and blessings in his hand,
Offering rain on this droughted land.
The Darkness
Sunlight can only be seen from the dark,
A mother’s truth is infinite and large.
I’ve felt your handshake,
Your limited faith,
We’re all one tribe through the miracle of birth.
Tell me why only light can represent truth,
When everywhere in nature
The opposite is proved.
My heart began in The Darkness,
Your heart began in The Darkness,
All Life began in The Darkness.
It’s untrue fiends are born in the dark,
Fiends are bred through lies and ignorance.
Shaped without warmth,
Formed in secrecy,
Hatred and fear I know your recipe!
Tell me why only light can represent truth,
When everywhere in nature
The opposite is proved.
My heart began in The Darkness,
Your heart began in The Darkness,
All Life began in The Darkness.
There’s nothing wrong with warmth,
Ain’t nothing’ wrong with love.
Even a warm Fuzzy Navel gonna get me some.
You say you know what’s wrong,
I know what’s not right,
And through poetry alone
Your truth I will Smite!
Tell me why only light can represent truth,
When everywhere in nature
The opposite is proved.
My heart began in The Darkness,
Your heart began in The Darkness,
All Life began in The Darkness.
