On Stage...(A Musical)

(on stage) was a play, setting usual,
Grammar flew, mouth to air, lips to ears
The cast had rehearsed,
The stage well managed
The script developed without a playwright.
Though none took credit, still acknowledged
Didn't have a director, still arranged
Cast did their choreography at their own pace
Didn't disappoint, gyration with glamor and grace
The playwright's swansong, so a masterpiece.
The musical, called "Chairs", called all,
The beckoned were present, audience whole.
As thoughts and reason trickled,
trickled down like leaves in fall.
Then the standing ovation (was) called upon
That was called the curtain call.



*if anyone of y'all cu'd tell me what this's about...
n thanks to Bridgit. She read it 1st n thot it was fly

Poet's Intervention

Invented as an art, I intervened as the poet,
thou speaketh words in murmurs, sounds in colors
betrayal in blanks, forgiveness in the past, Sin in
the present, a poet's intervention needed.

Needed like a womb tomb dug for days lives lived
for years,epitaph written not in paragraphs,
Graves dug to six feet, height at five feet
Hidden in blanks, stories hard to behold, poets needed,
Future foretold, History repeating, Sinners repenting,
Governments expatriating, Poet's intervention culminating.

Shadows in darkness, daylights with eclipses,
Pages tormented, pens bleeding, thoughts burning,
desire wanting, intervention arising, rebellion
in the youths showing, bodies beheaded,
A higher intervention wanting.

Thoughts contradicting, acts committing
blasphemy in the eyes of the mourner
Hypocritically greeting.
Heart beats racing fury generating
Poet's intervention needing, Thoughts
pure like a reading from The Scriptures
Poet's intervention wanting.

Wanting like Heaven's doors opening,
New seeds growing, bad deeds grow too,
Shamelessness a misfortune, poverty an omen
and dreams an imagination of tomorrow,
The tomorrow I spoke of yesterday
Purity needed like virginity spread to the masses,
A poet's intervention needed.

*n thus tha blog was named...
