spoken word poetry

[liam1310]

Some of my writings that I have done over the past few years, that I put music to, just me playing the guitar and posted on Facebook.
My aim was to get people to at least think and I found it helped me a lot too.
This one is called "it is what it is".

Went of track came back
stronger than before
in the mirror me I saw
cant run cant hide
from what's inside
there comes a time
must rewind
the tape in our mind
contemplate our possible faith
is it to late to wake


In the dark fumbled
on truth stumbled
dots connect I reflect
whats next
out of the depths
step by step
system exposed
in from the cold knowledge
feeds the soul


don't wake me
dont shake me
leave me be
let me believe
Im free
cant shake the feeling
myself im deceiving
believing things will change
staying sane in an insane world
don't speak your mind
go along just to get along
suppress who you really are
fit in that little box
society puts you in
don't go down that road
stay were you are
don't stray to far
don't rock the boat
in calm waters
let me float
In from the cold knowledge
feeds the soul

the ship will sink
don't you think
not trying to convince
everywhere there are hints
cant you tell
all is not well
here in hell
we've entered
stormy seas
the likes of which
have never been seen
parasites feed
wars rumors of wars
whats true is false
whats false is true

all is fake
the system will break
under the weight
of the many lies
on which it was built
wont follow wont swallow
the lies from the mainstream
information war rages on
war for your mind
reach deep inside
you will find
the courage to stand
alone among the wolves
in from the cold knowledge
feeds the soul

who will you blame
when your world falls apart
retreat into denial
say all is fine
ignore the signs
the truth remains
cant be changed
to fit what you believe
it is what it is
in from the cold
knowledge feeds the soul

Scamming and scheming

Greed the seed planted
In the minds of many
Bankers, gangster’s politicians
What’s the difference?
Scamming and scheming
Plotting and stealing
Feed us with propaganda
Like a thief in the night they take
What’s not there"s?


Psychologically were scared
From the past wars genocide
Oppression suppression of knowledge
The information war rages on
Fake news has us confused
Fear is the weapon to Keep us in line
Going through life Awake yet asleep
We all want change yet not
Willing to change ourselves

The money men
Create hell on earth
Since birth were conditioned
To play different positions
In this system of domination and control
politician your weak
when You speak
My mind you won’t reach
See through there disguise
There lies were on a merry go round
That never stops

Governments scamming and scheming
Plotting and stealing
Unlearn what’s been learned
discern truth from lies
the masses enslaved since birth
Paper chasing Race To the top
Teach the young to obey stay inline
young child don’t question the status quo
experts with certs know best
repress that Inquisitive questioning mind
Follow conform obey consume stay Inline
The unseen controls behind the scenes
Psychopathic elite pulling the Emotional strings of humanity
Politicians bought and sold weak willed
When they speak their words are cheap
Spinning a web of lies
everything they do is unjust
the rich get richer
The poor get poorer
same story Different tune

Governments scamming and scheming
Plotting and stealing
Masters of deception
Masters of war
Whole countries torn asunder murder rape
Pillage plunders Iraq Libya Syria
Millions dead under the guise
of bringing peace freedom democracy
to the Middle East
it’s insane the Carnage they cause
Across many lands innocent
Blood on their hands
They don’t care war is profit
There will never be peace
Till we reach inside
Change Ourselves
Change perspective the situation
were facing has to change end all wars
Or the wars will end us

What say you

Beat down kept apart
they speak they lie
like a snake in the grass
they slitter and they slide
your friend they
will pretend to be
but in the end do
we really know another
there troubles mental state
not assume label condemn or judge
but understand there predicament
without emotionally reacting
attacking there very existence

The urge to put others down
is hard to resist
when you've been conditioned
to the predators mind
there is no resistance
choices you have
voices you hear the
demon in that mind
thoughts will not subside
to our own madness
we are truly blind

seek to find answers
nothing makes sense
something really wrong
with the world
don't you feel it
the unrealness
rats on wheels
government steal
from you and me
fuck all we can do
head down must keep
turn the other cheek
consume while our destiny's planned
in a god dam board room

The bricks are tick on
that wall you've built
cant get in your boxed of
lost in thought
pills relieve your ills
hard earned cash
pay the doctor bills
you've surrendered
your will to seek


we can all speak
but actions are louder
many speak but say fuck all
many hear but don't listen
brain washed we are
the god above watches your every move
surrendered you soul spiritually
dead life has no end just new beginnings
if there is a hell we are knee deep in it


To reality we are blind
find comfort in lies
evil exists in the governments
churches corporations courts
and the banks
its hidden in plain sight
right in front of our eyes
but hey stay positive
ignore the negative
evil will prevail
slave to the system.

Step out side if you dare
just might find yourself
through that false facade
drop the act what
are the fact were under
attack by psychopaths
through the food we eat
the air we breath
the water we drink
i phones i pads
eyes glued to those
god dam screens

stuck in a mental prison
relies your not that mind
identifying with every thought
always in a hurry getting no where
fast for a time you will pretend its okay
but once again the thought
of doubt creeps in like
were under a spell
being kept from ourselves
question what your told
a wise man knows he knows nothing
seeks to learn tear down the illusions
life is just one big school
learn to discern truth from lies
or those lies will come
back and bite ya.

Dance to your own drum beat
baby steps towards that goal
its okay to go it alone
carve out that road
be you be inspired by others
but be you
your unique nourish
the mind body and soul
Dance to your own drum beat


At times the road gets steep
carry on dig deep
Life is trying to teach
remember the goal
remember your soul
remember who you are
a spark of light surrounded
by dark shine bright like
the stars at night
Dance to your own drum beat


when you step outside the status quo
others will put you down
remember the goal
remember your soul
remember who you are

in a world were everyone
wants to be like someone else
find you don't copy
what the others do
fear not the unknown
be not anothers fool
Dance to your own drum beat

Perspective
what I see is what I get
what I get is what I need
what I need may
not be what I want
what I want is not a need

Deception
Myself I deceive
to myself I am blind
from myself I hide
project that which I reject

Reflect
Mind can deceive
little seeds thoughts
come and go
what I water will grow


To believe is not to know
To suffer is to grow
Many paths many
roads lead to Rome
Emotionally react
what are the facts
Step back external
events are beyond my control
Observe listen discern


Amnesia
I get the feeling
Ive been here before
this giant school
known as earth
past lives soul never dies
struggle leads to progress
Is life a test


I will surely find out
when I am laid to rest.
Until that day above all else
to myself be true
do what is right
not what is easy or popular

 

[liam1310]

People places things
consuming rushing around
in circles its a
circus out there
the lies told
is not the truth
be him be her
not me I'm nobody
no your somebody
its in there
inside underneath
all the layers
gotta tare down
the illusion
u have about yourself

what is struggle
its in the mind
with the lies
we tell ourselves
about ourselves
the world and others
creating illusions
based on assumptions

nobody is nobody
everybody is somebody
souls mixing with other
souls on this earth
since birth
planet earth the world
of mass confusion and
illusion be you
to many fakes

pretense the mask is formed
worn with pride
dancing to the
tune of self destruction


space rocks shock
to the system
wasn't listening
signs past me
by to busy
getting high on
propaganda
its safe in here
cant hear the signal
among the noise
truth amiss among
the mist of deceit

reach for the next comfort
ease the pain
cognitive dissonance
sets in believed that
now this
like a tone of bricks
it hits
feel sick need
to sit down
how can it be
not the way
I thought it was


know nothing something
stirs inside
the barrier between
truth and lies fades
into the darkness
from were it came


lost hope whats the use
change that thought
can I be any use
in a useless world
gone dark
in your own life take part
it will unfold
choose to remain
choose life its
the only path
choose to remain
choose life its the only path

Being a poet, I have been meddling with music for a long time, the 70's in fact (my first book was published in 1977, not that matters) Your writing liam1310 would be very cool upon music - HERE'S WHAT i DID TONIGHT while reading your work: it may not be related BUT the important to me is that you let yourself grow into it, we have hundreds of instrumental works (free and you can do what YOU like with them) where your voice can be shared, and that to us is very important. Sit back and read it to music - your writing is very "rythmical" already by the structure. It is just a next step on the learning curve in order to reach a broader readership. Since people read less than before: music is a good outlet and inlet. Thank you for sharing your work: Sorry if I am hard to follow?!

Hi guimondaniel,

Thanks for your comment. Definately interested, this is something I've wanted to try. I'll be in touch, maybe send me some samples of what you think would work.

Wrote this the other night, put music to it with the guitar, posted on social media yesterday.

Fear and panic
Sweeps the globe
emotionally react
Mass hysteria
empty heads
Lead into the wilds
Of there mind

Its the unknown
We all fear
Justify your panic
Anyway you like
Fight or flight
Media hype

Get your vaccine
Is what they say
It will protect
Is what they say
Its the only way
Is what they say

Oh the price
You will pay
If you give
Your power away
Many won't
take heed
will beg
And plead
For a vaccine

Attack each other
On the streets
Government feast
Dancing to there
Drum beat

Weak minds is
What they desire
You can only
Save you
Don't forget
Knowledge protects
Sott.net true news

Don't know
Cant tell
Is this hell
Is humanity
Under a spell
Is life pain
Is pain life
Is Sorrow
And Strife
Part Of
life?

Just sit
And write
These thoughts
On a page
The world
Is insane
But don't say
It outloud
Silent remain
Or they
Will put you
In a cage.

 

[liam1310]

Its in the
Failing
We learn
Its in the
Search
That leads
Us to where
We should
Be

Its in the
Not knowing
We begin
To know
Its in the
Suffering we
Learn and grow
Its on the
Otherside
Of the pain
Strenght we
Regain

Its in the
Will we
Find meaning
Its in being
True to
Ourselves
We avoid
Hell
Its through
The inner
Struggle we
Find peace
Its through
The dark we
Find light

When all seems lost
When it feels like
There is no way out
No hope to survive
By taking responsibility
Help arrives
No matter the situation
Never give your
Power away
Life or death
The will to live is
In your hands

When we give
Away our will
When we give
away our power
Our destiny is
no longer
In our hands
No matter what happens
Its not happening
To you but
For you to learn
And grow

Never give in
Never give up
Through will
Through effort
When you least
Expect a way will appear
So always have faith
and never give up.❤
