Lyrical Genius

Sometimes I like to think I'm a lyrical genius. A lot of people don't agree 'cause I'm a goof. But I really do like making rhymes. I think it's an art form that is under appreciated. I went through a phase this summer writing rhymes at work and g-chatting them to my friends. I think its time to resume that behavior. After all, what else is there to do at work?

Yes, there's a time for everything.
A time for tears, a time for laughter.
But right now its time for disaster.
We're outta time so run faster.
The world is ending, yet I know what I'm after.


Innocence, once here, now gone,
And there's no room to mourn.
So let it go, while I flow.
Let my lyrics rock you slow
In hopes that one day it may return.


Till then I'll surrender
There's no hope of something new
When so few have tried, there's no point in trying too
Those are thoughts the youth keep living, 
Those are thoughts that we keep giving.


But I'm after the young again
Wanting for more for them
Having the time but not knowing what to do for 'em
Maybe it'll come to me, like an epiphany.
Till then I'll keep dreaming like Audrey at Tiffany's 


That's what I'm feeling now. Well, I was inspired by Steve Harvey's Morning Show, which I listen to every morning on my way to work. He has this intense mentoring program and is pulling together all his resources to help young men from going down the wrong path and joining gangs and what not. Help him out with a dollar donation at: www.steveharvey.com

That's all I got today, till next time :)
