ABSTRACT #NoFilter Scholarship Slam
Abstract Is what I desire
What I admire
About the world
Loving each other like when boy meets girl
Or when Girl Meets Guy
Love catches the gaze of the inner abstract eye
That many close and never blink
Shut the port that was suppose to sync
Us to the undefinable meaining of life and take us to the brink
of Intimacy
Without the filter, the colored world would be vivid
Filters would take down and make rigid
the beautiful soul and spirit
that would not and could not be contained
within the bodies and confines of our everyday steps today
Because those steps in a world without filters wouldbe toward our ACTUAL dreams
instead of false ones,
Best understand and not reprimand and take the stand and ask the question
Is this my dream I am living, or that of another man?
Oh how tragic it seems, we live other people dreams
letting them color within our lines
that we did not even craft ourtselves
Tragedy that is defined
by the classical thought of being elevated on a mental plane
that is results in a state of neverending sublime
and in the pursuit of that sublime
many slay
our dreams
our imagination
our abstract
our humanity
in pursuit of happiness
Ironically the sacrifice of the dream
the imagination
the humanity,
is the sacrfice of the abstract and necessary constant variable
That leads to the promsie land Moses never touched
makes our days full and never rushed
Our life fully fulfilled
Dreams are caught by the inner abstact mind
Which fights rationale, doubt and tries to climb
to be the victor
Without filters, world would have been the best place
to be worst or best, based off what you want
I mean I guess
that what some people would argue and refute
and I would be ignorant to see their point mute
Without filters, we would have a lot more harm,
But we would have more love
We would have more blood shed,
But tighter bonds that would connect us from here and above
Without filters, there will be greater losses
however greater gains
Without filters we have our Abels
And We will have our Cains
But without filters we are abstract
defined as something without shape
Rules or regulations, society, confines to hold us down
Even as write this I may encounter a poem or two
who may or may not have this similiar point of view
but to be honest, I don't really care about those poems that
say mine is wrong
because I know behind the keyboard there lies a human
so we might get along
or he may be the deepest scum of the Earth
The love and wonder of the world,
is that we are pretty abstract or at least we think
If we removed all those filters, deep down will you be greater or shrink
Could you recognize your own reflection?
More importantly do like the answer to that question?
This is Life and its has one act,
Drama, Action , Comedy or Horror
Your story is defined by the undescrible aura
that makes us all human
makes us all one
that trenscends our basic commonalities like skin hair cheek and tounge
Abstract is what life would be
IF filters every decided to RIP
