"Roughing it" - By P.Flack
___________________________________________________________________________

I suppose superstition superimposed in submission is the mission-
since it was to listen,not soothsay today.
Speak in tongues untasted, not wasted on the salival-
I know whats alive - a better chance at dancing on fates tightrope for survival.
Escaped the clutch, but not much could touch a sinking ground, quicksand
is this sink, that doesn't make a sound.

Why speak when no one is around?
Don't play this, it's not a game, it's a test, only one player is found.

Bound is the settler betting, not fretting the shame.
Don't tame the lion without taking the bull by the horns.
-No b****'n.

Don't blame the sty on the pig, take the heat or-
-No kitchen.

No flinching- punch!
A bunch of you know, knew the crew.
Hell has no name for a city block.
A goodfella fell, it wasn't worth the shock.
Value your life,like a glass full of blood.
Or pay the price of a bullet, that is a dud.
Don't pick it, choose it, it's not a scab- it's a lock.
No pinching, it's not a power lunch, the crunch of your head
isn't fed lies, it's not a dream.
So we say what I do, that is what I suppose we don't realize,
nothing is what it will seem.

Interesting... It is a little cluttered... it needs a touch of elegance... but great ideas!

Care to paraphrase the meaning?

Just my opinion -- any 'elegance' would ruin it.

Are you published Pflack?

No, but, I was thinking about doing that.... & your right about 'elegance' it's more like a rap piece if you think about it. Still it was like a 'throw together' type poem.

Elegance my...
PFlack you do like spoken word?
That poem would be great for it. It has a great sound to it.

Absolutely, that is the style it's in!

Ok, well now that I read it like spoken word its not so bad!

I guess it was how I read it... I was looking for some beat...

its kinda got a bounce to it though... it would be cool if it was said with some slow music in the background

^Good call!^

It really reminds me of the idea that when we believe, then we will see.
Great stuff...

It is kind of like that, but it is more like 'it's too late - your already in it so deal with it'... 'rough it out'....

That was a twister-tongue, I liked it.

Thanks, even though, I try not to make it that way.........it happens....
