Suburbanites
Alert the masses
Barking Dog rose from the ashes
Full of this unbridled passion
Directing lyrical miracles, ACTION
Cameras take, credits roll
But modern rhyming takes its toll
Questions enter the minds of people
When the rhyme itself starts getting old
What's the point? What's the reason?
Why bother writing what you don't believe in?
Why bother fighting when you feel defeated?
This work is tiring and your props are meager
No real stars
Too many Biebers
So we come online to get a whole lot deeper
We think, we write, we give our reasons
and combine with the minds of some brighter people
Light the way, lead us on
Help us find our inner song
When darkness falls, we stumble onward
And we keep at it 'til the break of dawn.
Tweak the bar, swap the verb
Inspiration for every word
Many written, seldom heard
While I'm here screaming DO NOT DISTURB
Stop the camera, CUT, its OVER
Sitting here with slumped shoulders
Feeling tired, feeling colder
Morning's come and I'm nowhere closer
Punch the clock, click the pen
Back and forth, and then back again
This old routine can never win
My rhymes on hold but I'll be back again
