I can't sit and watch
From a distance be just one
I can't sit and watch
As the history of this world is done.

It may be hard for you
To one day see
That this is not for me
There is much more I must do

Give me a beat
Give me a voice
Give me a body

I'll make a noise

A noise of beauty

A noise of redemption

Love me

Hate me

You'll hear me

Its raining honey drops
The clouds sparkle with diamonds
My house is built of gold
My silver tongue shines
My eyes of hazel are that of perfection...

Yet it is all lead compared to you.

Give me a beat.
Give me a voice.
Give me a body.

I'll give you a noise.

I won't go quietly, I won't go silently.

You'll hear my rage.

You'll feel my passion

My spirit

My soul

My noise.

The beat goes boom
The body moves with the boom

And when you hear that voice?

That honey sweet beautiful melody of such innocence that decays the evil that surrounds us all?

The voice goes...

la la la.. la la la...

The voice goes...

La la la... la la la...

The voice goes.

Dancing in between the guitar strings, the guitar cries and the trumpet screams. They don't hear us.

They don't care.

It's okay.

What we got to say? We yell!

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." Oscar Wilde

I don't know what to make of this poem.
It reminds me of the theory of proton decay. You know the end of all matter.
There are many interesting images in this poem.
