Perception
Location
So black and white
You'll never understand
The smudges and strokes
Of my untrained hand
The lines and confines of my several binds
That bind and tie lies to those who must die
For those who must hide behind those who have died
For I who write and re-write to make right what's been wronged
By the means of a lyrical song-
Like sound of the mouth in which words won't come out
He'll shout and she'll shout
Of points with no meaning
For those who have forgotten what life is about
What lives bring to sprout
Newness renewed with rain so astute
It cleanses the soot off the stoop
As I sit and write in black and white
As I sit in situations so complicated
You'll never understand
You may not understand, nor may you ever
However, knowing Perception is to percieve my conception
Of misconception and your comprehension of
The rain
Hitting my paper laid across my lap
That falls from a sky so much nearer than imagined
I will stroke I will stroke \
Repeatedly away
But my hand will shake and that's the way it'll stay
He will stay she will stay
But what we all forgot to say
Was that while the forgotten were forgotten and the dead weren't alive
We were all here working to strive
For what we had forgotten we had had in our minds
Because we were too blinded by our confines and our binds
