r.


rhythm is everything to this life
from birth to death from single to wife

not speaking in terms of tapping your foot 

but in terms of what you actually put 
out into the world , the song you sing 
to right a wrong or for a wrong to bring 
 devastation to those you oppose

rhythm is your wording , its your convos
it's the way you sway every day 
when you have things you can't say
it's the blood vessels racing to keep you alive

it's the moves made to survive 

it's the assembling in a factory line
it's the attempt to make sense of this in the back of your mind
bad rhythm is the evil suckling of corporate pigs

rhythm is everything to this life because life is what rhythm is
