"Vortex" (2003)
by Tik'al Storm Rydah
in a
sea of same
don’t
be afraid to spin
for difference makes change
and
change is where we win
jealous
others shoot poison arrows of shame
to
make you stay within their game
their
inability to reach for their best
is
the reason their sea is tame
but
reach
far
let peoples’
madness just fall away
nothing
will impede
a
desire to succeed
not
even greed
or,
those hearts that bleed
down
my ghetto streets
creative
flow goes
foaming
over sidewalks
cresting the highs
feeling
the cries
of
my creative being
which forever
will be seeing
a
tidal wave of confidence
bubbling
forth a spectrum
growing
in a sea of black and white
beauty balanced at the fulcrum
the vortex
of my cortex
will never ever wane
in another lost soul’s
stagnant sea of same
