[POETICAL ON A SUGGESTION] INSPIRED BY Ron Poetry



[POETICAL ON A SUGGESTION] INSPIRED BY Ron Poetry 
THE MUSIC FOR THIS WRITE...
http://youtu.be/1V5fBUYY0Pk


Once as poetry spoke in a boys bones he longed to see the sun on different continents, it calling to his heart...
But the boy lived in the ghetto and the walls they were high...
Poetry lived in the pages of the books he read, the speeches made by great
 men... 
Poetry lived in the dance of life, swing of hips and swerve of the car.
The boy touched cold steel and poetry existed in that too... The power to take life.
Poetry in the sky as the seasons they changed... Leaves falling from trees and growing again.
Poetry was the sweetness of grandma's strawberry nut cake... Frosting so rich it would rattle your soul.
Poetry made the boy leave the ghetto and go into the world, taught him that he was an anomaly.
One who saw the true ways of the poetry of man in all his incarnations... its implications.
Poetry was the bastard and the whore... The dirty redneck who spit on his truck... The form of a woman in a darkened bedroom... Water running in a bathtub.
Poetry the birth of a child and the loss of one as well... The song of his fathers life told to southern blues.

Poetry as he fades into the horizon... Off into the setting sun...
Walking...
Poetically.
