A life of rhyme

Just a poem about choosing creativity over destructive behaviour

Shady streetwise syllables

Dark words that take you in

Hooded meanings

Vociferous verse

Lyrics replacing sin

Shaping rhyme instead of crime

Brain not bullets and brawn

Persuade with prose

A loved up dose

of shining truth will dawn

Move away from kick and kill

Choose a stronger form

Strive to live

The better life

Not just accept the norm

I hear and agree with your premise. Good idea but, can you sell it to our carnivorous world of cut-throat and blood and tyranny and war and pestilence, dark shadows and lust and on and on and etc. I myself, like good language used and blended with good harmonious verse. It all works in poetry if written with care and written well with the potential readers in mind! Kudos, Michael
