Poetry For Everyday People
Give Me Soul Or Give Me Nothing
The truth of it is
there is too many fakes,
fakes make life difficult,
awkward, you can't play in
the band like that man,
you gotta give me something,
I'm here as a matter of life
and death,
I'm pouring out my guts,
you're posing, too many
nights of hell dancing
and Jazz is way past you
baby, you can't be hip, numb,
has life been that easy
you can't dig deep anywhere
within you and pull out a freaking
emotion, don't runaway now
I'm trying to tell you I love you,
I just want it Blues true, soul, I want
the words unspoken, the notes beyond
the beat, Coltrane, take me some place,
I need out of here for a little while.
