3 days ago: If I say that this discussion is an hybrid colony of poets then am just voicing out a part of it...
but musing over these lines...is self evident that these are expressions of beautiful minds and that is the heart of it...
am a spoken word artist/poet and i just finished working on a piece which was born out of life little lessons...the piece tells a story of people who have helped - through doing little things - immensely on our path to success or achievements or attainment of great feats.
Please kindly express your thought about this piece...thanks!
LIFTER OF MY FEAT
Framed for fashion
Formed for functions
seldom fashionable
sometimes uncomfortable
especially when imposed feels like wearing another foot
undervalued when priced less
overvalued if described priceless
some say you are old school
for them, new is cool
I guess that makes you classy
like a colourful girly boat
nicely keeping me afloat
under the flood light... Looking sassy
on that red carpet, this common bloke now roll with stars from Lagos
hoping not to get Los(t) in Vegas
“rocking” new Salvatore Feragamo tags
While the Lifter of My Feat lay in rags
Goodluck.
At every ovation, standing beneath
but together we toiled the earth

you could go in TOMS, Dick n Harry
but not a mile in my SHOES.
Jan 5 2012: Great idea Lior...as for the Teddy aka the bull i would advice you bring it live on the stage as planned because its a sticky factor especially in presentations you need something to break the pattern and that is a good one.
Jan 5 2012: what an insight... well forgiveness and understanding are just parts of the matter i believe, the heart of it is ... i do not know now but i know before this conversation expires i would get an inkling to it.
