Street Harmony Poem by Keith Ricardo Williams

lets go back to the days
of never can say goodbye
it’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
sitting on the dock of the bay
wasting time, wasting time
back down memory lane
for the goodtimes
the reasons that we’re here
street harmony
like the down home blues
sung by neighborhood crews
on country porches
sipping on sugar loaded koolaid
or who knows what
you know but i won’t tell
street corners where melodies come to life
instead of a gun or a knife
the type that made you
husband and wife
street harmony
when mama called you in
you cried because you were having so much fun
still you had to run
papa was a rolling stone
wherever he laid his hat was his home
oh i miss you, miss you baby
oh i oh i miss you, miss you baby
the songs we used to sing
the songs that bring back sweet memories
abc it’s easy as 123
street harmony
come on, come on
let me show you what it’s all about
