SPOKEN WORD: "Vortex" (2003)





 "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
