TOURIST
A POEM BY BEN PARKER - 9/2/17
watch my art
bleed into my real life
cut off the dead leaves
the fakes living fake lives
lately I've been so deep
in my own vibes
and vibrations
I often forget my location
whats the day
whats the time
another day
another rhyme
another freestyle for the kids
another mp3 full of ad-libs
spill my heart 'til I got empty lungs
so fly like a bee
they don't wanna be stung
my elders are frowning
they're jealous I'm young
potential
soon to turn to kinetic
my style so magnetic
attracting likeminded and
holding off the weak
polar opposites
I'm on the move
whilst they sit
like they taking a shit
but thats just their lives
I don't pay interest to the lowlives
I just wanna feel something more than real than the skyline
make a lot for myself because no one calls me on the phoneline
only I can make my future
responsibility is all mine
and I ain't got the damn time
to be sour like a fresh lime
leave me to my resources
you stick to your own courses
final destination
is where I see them coasting
they broke acting boujee
raising glasses
why're you toasting?
I'm trying to plan events
im trine decide whose hosting
but you won't get an invite
this time
your phone line gets the ghosting
