The Way we live
Bang the drum, baby,
let us roll tremors
of sound to wake
the Lord God of motion
sleeping under the skin.
Of choosing what to wear
this Saturday night:
cool, sexy black
or simply fuck-me red?
Should I gel my hair
or let it fall like water?
Of sitting on the sad
and beautiful face of James Dean
while listening to reggae
at Blue Café.
Of chatting with friends
at The Library
while Allan Shimmers
with his sequins and wit.
Of listening to stories at Cine Café:
the first eye-contact,
conversations glowing
in the night,
lips and fingers touching,
groping for each other’s loneliness.
Of driving home
under the flyover’s dark wings
(a blackout once again plunges
the city to darkness)
Summer’s thunder
lighting up the sky
oh heat thick
as desire
Then suddenly the rain:
finally falling,
falling everywhere:
to let go, then,
to let go and to move on,
this is the way it seems
to be. Bang the drum, baby.
This poem tell us how to live with our lives. As a person, i know i can live my life to the fullest. We do everything in the world like, hanging up with our friends, meet other person, sharing our thoughts, eating on the park, make some habit interests, listening to the stories and music when we're bored. But whatever we do, always remember that the danger is always there, so be careful on the things that we do. And always think what is the right thing to do when we're in the wrong place.
ReplyDelete-> As a future educator, we must be alert for the accidents that may pass every single minutes in our life. Because i know, everything happens for a reason. So always pray to God for our guidance.
