A little bit of spoken word poetry here for you today my friends. Poems about life, love, death and just about any other of the little things which make life happens. As seen through the eyes of the poet himself, E Lloyd Kelly. Here now is a poem called, “All that sheet” as seen among others on YouTube, where poetry speaks the inner thought of the mind. #poetryspeakstheinnerthought
So, is that the way how you happen to seet?
That my family and I ain't even sheet.
Just because we haven't arrived on the money street, yet.
While you were there busily lifting loads of multicolored discreet,
Off of the other folks' bundle of joy,
And sorrows too, pick-a-booboo!
As joy was laughing, laughter, while crying too,
Shedding tears of yet more joy, and bouncing baby boy,
And girls, and dancing ballerina shoe, who do you!
And that was just because you had happened to discover,
That my family and I haven’t yet crossed over.
The bridges and turnstiles turn the corner,
Where Wall Street’s big shots money garner.
Would show you that, my family and I ain't even squat.
Because we ain't yet got, it backed up to the loading dock,
In trucks and backhoe, backed up with all that Doe, ray, mi, fah, so. Yet.
Like you'd thought and afterthoughts long, long ago,
When you had set out to become, and became, a friend,
To me and to my children, but then again.
Your plans were thwarted, when the doe which you had wanted, was not forthcoming, coming, coming,
And the friend –ship began a-doning, downing, doning, downing, done.
