Writing Exercise |
Before you let em enter check the credentials, Some know the basics, but I'm talking fundamentals Allow a few slip ups like pardon the accidentals. It's verbal chess cuz half the game's mental. Are you taking notes? If not grab a pencil. I can't do it for you but we'll create a stencil. Makes sense when you check the points, equilateral, If you can't keep up, best take a sabbatical. Best not try to tackle the problem, just ain't practical. Cuz I get the will get last word, like Supernatural. I did this in three minutes, it wasn't hard though, I just pay attention to content while my words flow. Gimmie a word, racism and we'll flow off the dome, |

Free Verse |
Violence In Peace I know how to transform violence into freedom I know how to transform violence into justice But last but not least I know how to transform violence into peace I know how to turn frustration into progress I've found ways to channel my anger into possitivity until it becomes relief But I can also turn my words back into weapons lessons somethin' to see See violence is as a part of nature as a tree or a fruit Or a southern tree with fruit hanging from it And I'm not running from it Because i do not know how to end violence In fact, I don't believe in the possibility of a world without violence I Just know how to transform violence into freedom I know how to transform violence into justice but last but definitely not least I know how to transform violence into peace. |
