BRIGGZY- The Street Performer
Nepenthez- A man in the Audience

BRIGGZY- (street Performer)

The Rusted Strings Caressed, my Stubbled Finger tips..
Each note is an Emotion, Without the Sympathies..
how do i live with this? i guess it keeps me Alive..
making my Living by Music, but its deep inside..
Where my emotions lies..Unsettled an Beaten..
my Heart once Solid..but is now Battered n Bleedin..
Live life without a Meaning..nuthing is new to me..
Once a War Hero, Now Outclassed by the community..
It seems there Used to me..I Recognise Faces..
they act Polite..but never asked wot my name is..
The Same shit Everyday..People they Stop they Stare..
Nodd there head to the beat..but dont Acknowledge im there..
my songs are my Prayers...It Seems God doesnt Answer..
These Degrading Pigs..Insult with Demonic Laughter..
Body language is Insulting..i take no Notice..
Because the Street is a Stage..an im bound to host it..
The place my Hope-is..Rests Safely inside the Strings..
The Streets Never gave me a Voise..But its time i sing..
So i watch the Crowd Gather...There eyes are Fixed..
Yet i Smile towards them..But i Dispise these Pricks..
the night is Near..A Man Came to Apologise..
I Smiled...cos i had sumthin to love me at home tonight..


Nepenthez- (man in the Audience)

The Noise From the distance .. the Rythm the Beat ..
matching the pace of ma feet as there hitting the street
whistle as i walk .. the familiar sounds as i pass him again
i ask myself .. if he was respectable would i class him as friend?
the thought crosses my mind as im crossin the street
i see a athelete cross the road but jog to the beat
a crowd begins to gather... i return to the beats...
living his life thru his instuments .. he learned from the streets
the crowd in it mass .. each drop a pound in his hat...
but still he see's no friendly faces around when they clap
they all leave from there position .. with a smile on there person
seems they had there fun .. now there jeering and cursing.
throwing tissues and papers, what an amazing pharce
one man, myself, let out a degrading laugh
i walked tall but ashamed .. not happy, thats right
im sad for my actions after attacking his life
his music endeered me .. a great publication
a president of a company now degrading our nation
i go bacc to apologise .. but to my utter diss belief
hes got a smile on his face. i mutter distantly
how can this be ... a man from the streets .. tramped and abused
but has found his love in life and is more happy than you.
he gave me a smile .. his melody praising my soul
i gave him a smile back as he continued parading his show

Hahah, I didn't expect you to bump it

Bump of epic proportions, though. 5 years ago this was. Damn.
