USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Poetic Thoughts

Chidi,

(smile)  

"The Devil have his special plan
To make hot songs for sinners" ( Marvin Gaye : Life is for Learning)

still in the region of poetry & song

From awesome bulldozer on fire to demolition steamroller

Sweet Baby James sings this love song of poetic intentions :

"Well, I'm a steamroller, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
Yes, I'm a steamroller, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you

I'm gonna inject your soul with some sweet rock 'n roll
And shoot you full of rhythm and blues
Well, I'm a cement mixer
A churning urn of burning funk
Yes, I'm a cement mixer for you, baby
A churning urn of burning funk

Well, I'm a demolition derby
A hefty hunk of steaming junk
Now, I'm a Napalm bomb, baby
Just guaranteed to blow your mind
Yeah, I'm a Napalm bomb for you, baby
Guaranteed to blow your mind
And if I can't have your love for my own
Sweet child, won't be nothing left behind.

It seems now lately, baby
Got a bad case steamroller blues."

James Taylor : Steamroller

On the opposite side of the scale, still talking blues

Albert Collins: Mr Collins Mr. Collins

Albert Collins : Iceman

And worse than all of the above is all that rap ( thinking of e.g Ol Dirty Bastard ( O.D.B)

Her womanness

Weakens

The tough side of me

And lights fire

On my groin.

Her submission

Subdues

The stubborn side of me

And serenades me

To sumptuous slumber.

Heaven is here,

Home is paradise,

We are in paradise.
