Between Worlds: a spoken word poem By John McKinley Pride Jr

A Spoken Word Poem that I have up on my Youtube Channel under the name riverboatsong. Feel free and take a look.




“Between Worlds”

Flash forward and come back to your self
The time with in the numbers in your hands

To choose and pluck destinations unknown
Love has grown and love has been lost
Between the hands of certainty
Death fallows behind step for step through the doors of secrecy

Time stands motionless

Time fly’s by

Time is yours beyond all time

Doorways open and close
Close and then open
Victorian dreams at there end
To see the overly morel world that has long past
Truly this is were it all begins

Begins this story
Begins this wonder
Begins the clocks of time
So the pendulum swings more then once
And the bells are ringing loud in your ears

Which door will be your last and where do you start over from here?
Between love you must stay
Between death you must run
Between time you must push on
Between these worlds you do not know
Between worlds you must go
Between worlds you must stay
Become times clay it molds you in its own way

Choose you must; you will find that time was all yours to hold, spin and mold. The hour glass it forced upon you will be filled with the infinity of sand between these worlds that have become yours.

Conspire to inspire thousands a poem By John M. Pride Jr

“Conspire to inspire thousands” Contrive to escape the knowledge of others means of self-destruction. They are excogitating, in finding ways to get into your mind. Fulfilling all their own desires to bring fire from the ones they control. Never wanting to mend the heart Never letting the white dove free from their grasp; breaking the olive branch. Sitting upon hills looking down laughing at the ignorant they have built. They sit upon a pedestal built by the blind. Conspire to inspire thousands Yet the ones with blood money will make you a pariah to those you try to lead. What words can you speak and will they change the world? What words can you write and will anyone read them? Will they change the world? What will they change if you do not speak out loud? What will it change if the words stay in your head? What would it change if they cannot hear you? What will it change if you don’t share your dreams with even the ones that you think don’t care for you? By John M. P

Honest John (Bio Style): a poem By John McKinley Pride Jr

"Honest John" (Bio Style) Yes I some times speak the truth even though no one wants to hear it. Some people say look there goes honest John; I hope he keeps walking on. Some say there is a young helpful chap he will help me in a snap; he’s not good with a map but he will keep you out of a trap. Some clap there hands in joy after I speak, while others there hands turn in to fists and I wish I would not have said a peep. Honest John I am, that’s the way I am; no sham, no scam and you get the real me for who I am. My words short or long, sharp or sweet, rimed or disorganized, it’s all discreet I assure you of that a pat on the shoulder a tip of the cap is all I ask for like a treat. Yes I some times speak out of turn but that’s because I know I am right; it some times gets others wanting to fight. So lets agree to disagree and we can leave it at that and I can give you a charming wink of the eye a snap of the fingers with a cheesy smile and say see that’s how I handle tha
