Speed of Light Poem
Yenaros' mix of lyricism, detail, and style is a dangerous poetic force to be reckoned with.
Speed of Light
Man, listen.
I don’t need drugs
And I don’t need pills.
All I need is Jesus
At the wheel.
Here are some facts:
These people are trying so hard
To stay intact.
It’s like they need practice
To know what to do.
Attractive
They want to attract.
Have people breaking
Down their door at
The speed of light
To get that fat contract.
Everyone wants to have a
Strong work ethic, but get
Distracted.
They’re breaking my back.
I need chiropractic.
Everyone has turned from wanting
Good to bad.
We need aromatic,
Not retractive.
True love is dying,
A heart is met with
Static.
They want to end it all,
Tie themselves down and
Have a train run them down
On the tracks.
I ask them where their morals went
They said, “to racks”.
Wanting to secure a bag so bad,
They think they deserve a plaque.
They want “ice”
Not knowing that all ice melts,
Be proactive.
Won’t respond to my texts but,
On your apps, it says “active”.
They’re not concerned about Christ,
They’re concerned about
Stats.
Would rather hear about
The impacts of
Their quote or pic.
Relax.
Everyone wants to
Experience life fast.
It’s a commonality
I’m tired of the same things.
I just want originality.
We’re not meant to have the same
Name
That’s why we should be defined by
Personality.
I don’t need companionship,
I need vitality.
No one can separate me from Christ,
That’s actuality.
Challenge my faith and I’ll break you
Down like Mortal Kombat
Sub Zero defeats Lio Kang.
Blink, then fatality.
This ain’t virtual reality.
They say “You only live once”
But, that’s criminality.
You live twice.
What does that mean?
Use logicality.
That’s enough talking.
I’ve brought ample reality.
