quiet, I need to rest
can‘t you really not hear?
i‘m yelling just so quietly
you’re not paying attention
I believe you’re ignoring me
don’t want to be a bother
i’m trying to be nice you know
but if you keep dismissing me
I’ll be forced to put on a show
this disregard has got to stop
my ideas need to get the hell out
it’s important you acknowledge
otherwise I might began to shout
don’t care that you trying to sleep
or other things on your mind
when I need you to recognize me
you certainly know I’m in a bind
clear off what’s on your schedule
wipe away whatever’s on the slate
it’s me, creativity you’re telling be quiet
and I don’t give a damn that it’s late

My Old Testament
Samson said I dig my dreads
my braiding ain’t bad too
babes hang like grape vines
trying to comb on through
Noah said I love to paddle
my boat can only hold one
talk to God or God to me
seems chartering much more fun
Eve said I dig this garden scene
love planting plants and trees
something‘s missing here about
maybe I’ll negotiate birds and bees
Jonah said ain’t fishing a blast
my rod and tackles the best
think I‘ll skip deep sea trolling
give the holy fresh water a test
Moses said I’m a chiseling fool
my chipping really does rock
so tired of making idols and such
maybe I’ll give writing a knock
Esther said I got dreams and goals
but I need to make a career move
i got a position that give me clout
but first my parents must approve
David said my arm in a sling
threw it out a skipping stones
just got to find me better way
of making my ripples known
Salomon said loved splitting wood
I know i could do a cord a day
figured to make some righteous cash
just need to keep the moms away
Rahab said i’m turning some heads
this old profession pays off some bills
maybe I should take some others in
then those damn collectors be still
Reynold said got stories like those folks
god graced me some writing time
but if I want to say a lot more
better learn to write a better rhyme
