Ranting 2

please tell me What is the matter with you all
the way you have been living is just all wrong
The things you are doing are devastating
but if u could just free it they'd be emancipating
Yeah, im talkin about hidden poets
Those poets that write beautifully in their own private notes
but what they fail to understand is that poetry was meant to be heard
cause there's a million and one things you can do with spoken word
With your words you could cut, slit throats, and kill
make the earth shake more than 7.0 earthquakes will
With your words you can force back the winds
and the tornadoes and damage that Katrina brings
with your words you can restore the world to gold
before the time when things were old
But no you keep your words locked tight
withholding the torrent of power from sight
Day after night day after night
Day after day night after night
I'm not sitting idly, imma stand up and fight
fighting for freedom, emancipation
waging war against those who hide their declaration
Cause poetry is meant to be declared
And mine declares that hidden poetry will b shared
And no longer obscure conscious thoughts
and we will all be more aware
