"For what it's worth"
  by Jody


I didn’t know it would feel so good
Then an anvil dropped from my chest
My next breath came with ease
Mixed with a rush of tears
And good, no great feelings came to me
An “S” on my chest glowing
And where did this cape come from moment
You see the wind in my hair, luxurious
As anything was possible
The rotors of a rusty history cranked & turned over
To a running motor that purred
And we were behind this model T
Of change—
First
Don’t come easy
But they come like two cymbals clanking together
Loud!
Do you hear it
((((ECHO))))
((((ECho))))
((((echo-ing))))
The world wants it
No more war
No more fighting
No more hating
No more ignorance
No more anvils
No more dot dot dot … fill in your blanks
Just life
The diamond in the rough &
Don’t you think it’s about time
We let her shine
*bling*
For what it’s worth

This is true poetry in motion. The words aren't just being read... they're being heard, and the cymbals took everything up just a notch. The imagery... very nicely done. Change is... better than good!!!

okay...see, now I can read and I have words...lol. LET THERE BE LIGHT. This was very well written girl, you are blowing me away. Fledgling change is indeed a diamond in the rough, just needing some polishing to give that spark-le we are all waiting to see. Blinding in its beauty and value. Its not easy (I hope this aint no blood diamond, Jaydee...you know I don't support that shit. CTFU)....but it is worth it if we can all but just get behind this old jalopy. Again, nice write.
