CHAINS IN THE MIND
Chains in the mind
They cripple and
they bind
make me deaf
make you blind
keep us both
confined
Chains in the mind
They contort and
they stunt
keep me hunched
keep me from hunches
that report
that
Chains in the mind
They cripple and
they bind
make me deaf
make you blind
keep us both
confined
Slowly I unbend
Stand tall
Stand firm
Stand my ground
Make a move
Take a step
Leave
where I've been bound
You think me harsh
I feel I mend
the broken links
in my mind
Links
not like in a chain
that confines
like needed channels
that break blind
alleys
dead
ends
dead
locks
As the links mend
I break
the chains in my mind
take
blind
folds off my eyes
Chains in the mind
They twist
They distort
contort
They cut the living short
NO NO NO electric sparks
cut connections
flash them apart
Chains in the mind
hard cold metal
hard to bend

Words Music Rap Poetry. Chains in the mind.
They cripple and they bind.
Make me deaf, make you blind.
Keep us both confined.
Rap. Beat. Rhythm. Spoken Word.
Elsas Words Music.
A dozen
years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.
WORDS
MUSIC WORDS
Every
time I'm going
into the words not knowing
what kind of thing I'm doing
what is this thing I'm making
what are these words creating
Words
music, music words, rhythm beat,
spoken word, song,
rap poetry, indie alternative music,
trip hip unhip unzipped
whispered, shouted, sung.
What is this?
spoken word poetry?
indie alternative music words?
indie alternative words music?
performance art?
rap tap rhythm song?
Where do these words belong?
They don't follow song rules
so they can't be songs
Are some rap
with a rap beat?
Are some spoken word?
Some are to be sung -
country, trip hop, pop, folk, blues,
indie alternative music,
country folk, rock and roll, rap,
world beat, jazz, folk pop,
rhythm and blues.
rhythm beat strong
words to be spoken
words to be sung
words to be lived
moments
word music worlds
rhythm beat
What's cooking?
Whatever comes -
words alive
words strong
words music worlds
rhythm beat
strong
movement
words moving
words shaping
words taking
words trying
to catch life
to catch moments
moments like fireflies
one moment bright
next moment gone
words
words and rhythm
words to be spoken
words to be sung
words, sounds, music
word music worlds
words going on and on
like the beat of a drum
word pieces
piecing together moments
word music worlds
stronger
fainter
closer
and then
can't hear
they're gone
like moments
