Rhyming life

RHYMING LIFE 2023

All use it – from tinker to soldier to sailor

From butcher to baker to

Salesperson and e-mailer

Poetic rhyme – all-the-time – intertwined

In daily life

                         ***

Wax lyrical if you must

With sudden spurt like a wind-gust

You write – ’n write – ’n write

And you just might

Break the charts with a song surge

That fills the ears of many-a-one

                         ***

Lyrics that capture a human moment

Momentous in it’s result

The Fab Four did it – did it change humanity

In some ordinary or extraordinary way?

                         ***

Ordinarily we hum a tune – attempt to sing –

Gurgle out a lyric

In autumn winter summer and spring

                         ***

Not so profound you rightly say

But we are so into mediocrity

That lasts in thought

Captured in the day-to-day

                         ***

So – so – much time that drifts away

We can’t catch it – to hold it tight

So a poetic rhyme or lyric might

Help us deal with it ‘waiting for no man’

                         ***

The tide is out and time is up

But still we remember the silly things

As though they were important

                         ***

And the unimportant in turn

That occupied our time

                         ***

We get exhausted in our brain

There goes time yet again

                         ***

We didn’t get it done

Too busy having fun

                         ***

But here’s the thing

When all is said and done

The poetic line or lyrical turn…

Is in the fibre of our lives

Dyed to the wool –

You could say –

Unavoidable

We have to say

Let the lyrics come and the poems go

Looking to the future

With time in tow

Keeping things in perspective

We have to say – so much fuss

Over one-singer-one-song

Yet the rhyming still goes on

Tap into the Rap

Tap into the rap…I want to say :

‘ZAP !’…to every crazy idea

that’s been buzzin’ around

since the start of time…

Well you’re a non-conformist…that’s fine…but get your head around…

THE INVISIBLE, THE INDIVISIBLE, THE GREAT SUPREME CHAMPION OF THE UNIVERSE…

Though some may say : ‘He doesn’t seem to be…’

Listen, He’s still the Operator…the Instigator…the Proclaimer…the Creator…of all that there is !

Now you’re a non-conformist…no time for anything…no time for status quo everywhere you go…you say : ‘Don’t want no governmental corruption, no society dictation, don’t care about inflation, no need for explanation’…you want to fly like a pigeon but don’t need no religion…you’ve thought about your situation, you’ve thought about the nation, you’ve thought about all your losin’, might try some seclusion. You’ve thought your head would burst ‘cause there is no conclusion.

THE ANSWER TO LIFE ?…well you’ve only got confusion…disullusion…you think maybe its Buddha, Mohammed…it could be Hare Krishna or some denomination.

The cries, the cries, the many voices raised : ‘follow us, pay your money’…deceiving words…lips dripping like honey.

So your on the daily grind because you cannot find, thinkin’s such a bind…so shoot up some junk, get into some funk, drown the minds emotion…kill by self-destruct…just blast yourself away…no freedom…everyday…no plan, no purpose, no-where, no scheme, no dream…hopeless situation ?

Does it cause some consternation if the man says:

THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE, THE LIFE, THE TRUTH, THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE, THE WAY.

…’who said that ?’ you might say – Hey !

…was it Karl Marx, Alfred Marks, Groucho Marx, was it Gandhi or Andy Pandy…will we turn around when we know…at the end of hopelessness…when in distress…will we face the loss…and turn to one they put upon the cross… ?…’cause He’s the one who said it…the one who paid it…

He’s the non-conformist that you…thought you might be…

HE’S THE INVISIBLE, THE INDIVISIBLE, THE GREAT SUPREME CHAMPION OF THE UNIVERSE…

Though some may say : ‘It doesn’t seem to be’…still He’s the Operator, He’s the Proclaimer, He’s the Instigator, He’s the Creator of all that there is.

…so lets not conform when we can be transformed…confusion…?…well He is no illusion… He came…He saw…He conquered every devil that there is…He sits upon a throne until our time is through…then rises to welcome…to appear and say : ‘I’m true’…meantime – waiting…as an omniscient might…to deal with all death…until there’s only life…look how quickly minds close to Him on no other basis…than that His name is Jesus…it’s no crime to take a look as a non-conformist should…to the only man who was different from this world…’cause the other world was where His mind was…bringing His power to bear…upon the funky junk, the self destruct confusion, the hypocritical pride, every excuse that helps prop the illusion…that there is only eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die…

Tomorrow we die…that’s for sure…but wrap your thoughts around this rap…cry ‘ZAP !’… to all the crazy unbelieving ideas that don’t come up to scratch…there’s no match…for the ‘Altogether Lovely’… the Holy untouchable…that let’s Himself be touched…by the feeling of man’s infirmity…you hear what I say ?…so listen let’s all hit the dirt and cry out for mercy…cry to Jesus the Son…the only one…who gives His mercy freely to the broken hearted man…to the disillusioned person…without any coercion.. He’ll take you as you are…to be with you every hour…through His eternal power…now why don’t you conclude, you know you really should, deep inside you’re crying for the Jesus of the cross…cause there is no satisfaction till you experience Resurrection…brought to you today…in no uncertain terms we say…

He’s the Truth, The Life, The Way…that’s – Jesus – here to stay…
