DECADES
Shing02, Noriko Kose
Decades of decadence
Decades of silence
Decades of science and
Decades of violence
How time flies with vengeance
They said enjoy the finest
What’s the plus minus
Born Innocent, and die earnest
Looking back, these decades were signs of
Hard times steady in decline
Still we doubled down and always acted fine
These hollow words that decay in mindless
Chatter on palms and yet it’s the tiniest
Thorn in the side of conscience reminding us
That kids on the streets are vying
For love and attention if it weren’t for vermins
On the dinner plate, we’d listen to sermons
Coming from the tv, meaning their versions
Of the same event we saw unfurling
So many questions… sans answers
What good is school if they won’t solve cancers
In society evil spread like rumors
Grinning in pain, utter lack of humor
You said you wish that we had met sooner
Before the fork in the road separated us
Can’t turn back the clock, it’s dated thus
I miss the mornings walking on cobble stones
Bombs raining, skating on rubbles
Yo what did we or can we accomplish
Over a lifetime, lid over iris
Look the other away to a crime, an accomplice
Tell a friend and now I’m the alarmist
Like “please don’t kill the vibe it’s a party y’all
We’re gonna tear the roof off and let the ceilings fall”
Debris pulverized on the ground on contact
Quiet like storefronts closed on zondag
Hand to hand, is it to hold or combat
The peace that we aim to achieve, we been on that
Since the beginning of this epic endeavor
Write to any topic whenever, forever
Decades of decadence
Decades of silence
Decades of science
Decades of violence
Born Innocent, and die earnest
Looking back, these decades were signs of…
Five deep and still entering my prime
Not a lone prisoner biding his time
Never bite my tongue for a nickel and dime
I’ma tell it like it is it’s a matrix of lies
Smokes and mirrors hide the true divine being
Everybody needs to get set own shine, bright
Does it matter if a line really rhymes
With the words before that, it's all in your mind, right
Why divide instead of multiply
Life hack, stick together, tight layers of ply
Go against the grain, everyday you might crack
Get a splinter on your finger so stuck can't pluck
Avoid kickback from the blade you better duck
Better yet rule of thumb man don’t press your luck
Get a wet wrap if you get a deep cut, hermetic
It’s amazing you know how to heal if you let it
Decades of decadence
Decades of silence
Decades of science
Decades of violence
Born Innocent, and die earnest
Looking back, these decades were signs of…
