What would you consider a good reason to write?
A man always has two reasons for doing anything--a good reason and the real reason. -JP Morgan
Everything has a reason, no matter how intelligent it may be or however idiotic it may seem. For instance, I write and share a lot of my lyrics for the simple reason that a lot of the things I write are based in the reality that I live in. The events, the emotions, the thoughts, the people are major influences in my writing. If ever I have spoken to you about my writing, I am sure that I have told you this particualr statement:
If I've known you long enough or if I've talked to you for a second I can base a song on you. -Lucius Black
A few examples: (NOTE: there are a lot more but I'm trying to get to a point here...)
JASMINE: "Condemned By Excellence" (ALBUM: Proving Ground)
LA'MON: "Game Set" (ALBUM:Dirtyfoot's @ last )
CLERONA: "Long For The Storm" (ALBUM: Dirtyfoot's @ last)
TIARA: "Choosing The One" (ALBUM: Dirtyfoot's @ last)
VANESSA "Everlasting Smile" (ALBUM: Dirtyfoot's @ last)
All of that of that was said to say this-there are four main reasons I write:
This is more geared towards the third reason. In this I use a discarded food item as a metaphor for something larger...
So are you to my thoughts as food to life
Or as sweet seasoned showers are to the ground
And for the peace of you I hold such strife
As twix't a miser and his wealth is foun
`Now proud as an enjoyer, and ano
`Doubting the filching age will his treasure
Now counting best to be with you alone
Then bettered that the world may see my pleasure
Sometime all full with feasting on your sight
And by and by clean starved for a look
Possessing or pursuing no delight
Save what is had or must from you be took
Thus do I pine and surfeit day by day
Or gluttoning on all, or all away
Sonnet 75, William Shakespeare
Food For Thoughts
Verse One
Infinitesimal blink, discarded just the same as baked confections
What was vital was taken and left raw in no latex protections
Picked over and cast off into gutters, raggedy vagrant one
None valued seen in this noble vagabond but wayward son
Blinked and shook it off, disgusted by the similar fates
Golden rivers urinate, release streams to douse the hate
Chorus
Munch madnessIngest emotions caught
Take this in
A little food for thoughts
A little food for thoughts
Repeat once
Male VO1
Who the fuck thinks about bums pissing on muffins?
Verse Two
Close behind was the victim of jeering taunts
Morose wonders as the ghosts of tears still haunts
Sees the treat treated like same pasts not yet gone
A kindred spirit in inanimate, pissed off and pissed on
Came back from the reverie, an tears cannot quit
Form mouth into ugly kisses and commenced to spit
Chorus 2xs
Male VO2
Who the fuck thinks about victims spitting on muffins?
Verse Three
Finally there was a nameless rabble running blindly against the wind
Group of disregarded if ever known hoping to merely transcend
We are the masses teeming to be heard above roar
Better yet the multitude screaming in unison for something more
Pushing on after pauses to run reckless in the sample
Underfoot is the solitaire pastry, lost in the trample
Chorus 2xs
Male VO3
Who the fuck thinks about masses trampling on muffins?
(And the breakfast treat is abandoned, much as people are in this life; as the time and the world passes by, it seems that attention is drawn to a woman riding home in her car. Upon her arrival she heads upstairs; passing the open bathroom, she sees her eighteen year old son standing in a towel. For reasons unbeknownst to herself strange and altogether new thoughts enter her mind...thoughts that many would consider terrible.)
