Pins Drop
Official now, gone deaf
My ears are out the door
Words no longer hurt me
Speech that used to bore
They first heard my mam
Absorbed a wall of sound
Listened to words of love
From lovers that I found
Recoiled from animosity
Thrilled to airs of Mozart
Stood by when I was cruel
Inflicting a broken heart
Soaked up words of love
Tuned in to Radio One

Out Loud
Let your voice be heard
Surely you earn and win
Let ideas more cleared
For all women and men
Tell me what do you think
How did you see yourself?
Freely talk, no blink
Why to keep it on shelf
Open mind and heart
Nobody is remaining fool
Surely you're smart
To become happy and cool

Graffiti
Graffiti
the brooding
malcontent
with paper cut
heart
stares at a wall
of graffiti
and thinks
I could do that
so he picks up
a spray can
unleashes
his feelings
in dribbling
white letters
fifteen feet high
his blood
becomes molten
his rage is
a torrent
of years
without voice
a scream
to be heard
