Attempt at rappin'

NATURE

By: Mariah Deanda

Put your hands in the air

If you know what I mean

Flying high in the sky

And floating with the sea

 

Can you see the delight

In all of your possibilities

Swaying like the branches

Or rocking like trees

Feel the earth 

With your soul and feet

Wandering with the wind

And strolling down the street

Listen to all the sounds

And perhaps you'll learn

From babies crying 

And those who want to be heard

Look at the faces

Who walk on by

The expressions of struggle

And the ones who cry

The illness of the people

Suffocates earth's beauty

With drugs, alcohol

And death in the community

Raise your hands high

If you know beauty is here

Wave your hands around

And grasp the luxury of air

See our earth
As the mother of all

She holds us up 

And awaits our call

This was my attempt at rapping, obviously its a little off of a beat. But its okay because I got to stay what I wanted. Isnt that the beauty of writing, I can say what ever I want. The beauty of earth is often unknown by people who just see what they'd like. The detailed mountains and the clouds hovering just a little above them. The way you can just see the water at different angles, beneath, above, and how you can touch it. You'd think more people would notice the beauty of this planet that is keeping us alive. The danger that we have put onto this earth, and the danger that just so happens to be killing us. And sometimes we need to know someone else is there, something is there to guide us and that they will be there to comfort us. Like the rain, people tend to walk and cry in the rain and it makes them feel better, the sun makes people get outside and have fun, the lightning and thunder let us listen and watch and pay attention to it and where it goes, and the wind pushes us along so we arnt alone. Its just everything that we have on this earth, the trees, the branches, the grass, the cement, and the water, the soil. Its everything we are apart of. We are apart of such a larger thing, and what we cant see is how beautiful it is. Should be a sin not to know what lies out there. But that is what I was trying to express in this poem/attempt of rapping. Hahaha. Yeah
