Just For Nev

Post by Bob Pacey » Mon Aug 04, 2014 8:05 pm

Slamin Slamin Slamin

Slamin Slamin Slamin
what's the use of bloody gammin
Mate I ain't no good at Slamin
But I'm gonna have a go.

So here I'm Yellin Yellin Yellin
Screamin out the words I'm tellin
Getting louder by the second
Feels like me brain is gonna blow.

And it's Spinnin Spinnin Spinnin
Cause the whole damm crowd is grinnin
But there just ain't no meaning to it
It makes no sense you gotta know.

Cause its Buildin Buildin Buildin
To a fever pitch its buildin
Disjointed words revolving
like some broken clockwork doll.

And I'm Reachin Reachin Reachin
like a minister who's preachin
Trying to find that perfect moment
When time and rhyme stands still.

But it keeps Shiftin Shiftin Shiftin
Just out of my reach its liftin
And I can stretch and almost touch it
Make it mine and hold it so.

you too can Makeit Makeit Makeit
look deep inside if you can take it
it will try to leave you speechless
Try to make you let it go.

So just grabbit grabbit grabbit
Make it yours just like a habit
And you'll get addicted to it
As the words spin high and low.

Yeah they fly higher higher higher
Fill your world with hearts desire
A release of all your tensions
Feel the peaceful rhythms flow.

Now it's slowin slowin slowin
The stories spent and now its going
There is nothing left inside you
Then it disappears in space and time.

Oh so Sadly Sadly Sadly
Man you wanted it so badly
Why did it have to leave you
Why does it have to go.

But its still there just Waitin Waitin Waitin
For your mind to start creatin
For it lives there deep inside you
in your heart forever more.

So now Quietly Quietly Quietly
Close your eye's it will burn brightly
For the spoken word is magic
And only you can make it grow.

The purpose in life is to have fun.

Must be.

Got me through to the poetry slam finals in 2009 Mausie.


The great thing about it is you can use the pace and inflection in your voice to present it.
