On The Verge Poem by Laquory Jones

On the verge of collapse watching the world
Wondering how they will react let's go back
And Retract to a buried past because people
Are covering up their secrets hoping never to unmask
A lost art but I have night visions in the dark so no
Matter how loud they hark my bite will always be
Harder than my bark so if you're asking me
Where I've been I've been swimming with the sharks
Emotions still harder as heck to discard
I've come to grips that not all problems in life
Are destined to be fixed life had hit me like a ton of
Bricks with its subliminal ball of tricks I've constantly
Asked myself why we truly live perhaps we as a whole
Have lost our way I've watched people close to me
Decay but I have no choice but to swallow the pain
While walking across this rough terrain we called "Life"

Perhaps it was in the name of fate that the Elders in
The end would only have this to say" Until we take the
Time to truly appreciate and see a better light nothing
Will ever change" but I've been feeling kinda strange
"Richie you're just derange" But I don't know what you
Value all that I know is my two cents would be nothing
Without you so I'm thanking you in advance if you hate
Me go ahead voice out all your frustrations everyone is
Entitled to their opinionated chants tonight we're igniting
A Path for freedom of speech because the freedom of the press
Only trying to cause alarms of distress while tying their ropes
Around our necks hoping we lay sleeping across the decks
But they've came up and done it while igniting an "old soul"
With an 27 years old heart so let's embark lets go back
To where it all started take it from the beginning

They told me that we would never amount to anything
But it's up to us as human beings to find what we truly believe
In and Constantly achieve our dreams there's no time to grieve
I'm putting weary souls at ease while spreading the words of
Encouragements lifting up spirits while spreading my two cents
Across the continents To you Richie might not be heaven sent
But I believe that we're the generation whose going to change
The world let the arguments occur the rate of haters will
Always constantly surge as Society goes berserk or the line
Cross will always remain a blur but a new species of humans
have emerged mark my words I'm planting seeds within the
Minds of the people while creating creative juices igniting
Sparks within it's river's bed and will continue long after I'm dead
Though it has been said that " Authority doesn't listen until
They find themselves at the brink of war fighting the same people
Whom they ignored" Now commence operation fight for change
While taking back what was stripped from the people
We was suppose to be treated like equals but in the end
The world is just plain Evil as they thread their needles
