Sometimes I am terrified[00:06.15]What place does a wordsmith have[00:08.43]In a visually stimulated world[00:10.90]It's like the words I once loved[00:13.20]Are leaving[00:14.09]Like a boy leaves a girl[00:16.12]At a homecoming dance as he catches a glance[00:18.72]Across the room from another[00:20.98]Or as a man finds a lover only[00:22.86]To leave behind his mother[00:25.65]It's how I feel with poetry[00:27.32]Narratives and metaphors[00:29.47]Like I'm an explorer examining the contours[00:32.97]And surveying the meaning[00:35.03]Wrestling and teeming[00:37.09]I was never paying attention in class[00:39.11]Just always daydreaming[00:41.37]Of using a microphone and my mouth[00:43.47]To shift people's minds[00:45.33]I didn't need applause or amens[00:47.36]After my lines[00:48.84]I always pictured people sitting back[00:51.36]With light bulbs coming on[00:53.04]And a slight smirk being cracked[00:55.00]When they finally caught on[00:56.73]To the pictures I had drawn[00:58.34]Without ever using a paint brush[01:00.29]Such a euphoric feeling[01:01.69]As I made the brain rush[01:03.64]A new age Emerson or Hughes[01:05.39]Who can't be hushed[01:07.72]But the way the cultures moving[01:10.04]I wonder if I'll have my dreams crushed[01:13.38]Because it seems that the words[01:15.35]I once loved are leaving[01:17.22]With every double tap on each picture[01:19.79]We're continually caught[01:21.29]In the past moments shimmer[01:23.31]Reflections of a better day[01:24.91]Every time we press play[01:26.76]And the ten second videos pile up[01:29.10]And rob us of our today's[01:30.83]Turning them into tomorrow's[01:32.67]Filling me with much sorrow[01:34.60]Because I just was hoping that your mind I could borrow[01:38.53]As parchment to compose these ballads[01:41.72]Using words to create a new world[01:44.91]Shaping how your mind functions[01:46.76]With every story that I tell[01:48.94]And if I can't paint a picture with[01:50.77]Every word like a brush stroke[01:52.65]I'll feel like a journalist sitting[01:54.57]On the curb of who went broke[01:56.21]Because nobody read the articles[01:57.93]Into which he put all his time in[02:00.38]When Gutenberg meets Google age[02:02.64]Is staying OG a true sin[02:05.58]You know it's hard to be constantly pulled[02:08.21]By the age you live within[02:09.99]When you feel like that you were born[02:11.57]To bring the people back again[02:13.51]To some sort of language repentance[02:15.97]While their off paying penance[02:18.17]To the gifs and memes and snapchat[02:19.80]World that delivers me menace[02:23.04]I guess it's time to move on[02:24.74]Like the Youngstown steel workers had to do[02:27.38]When mass production flooded the scenes[02:29.68]And mass firings proceeded too[02:32.17]The words I once loved have left[02:35.74]Although they'll always have a place in my heart[02:39.83]This is the dead poets society[02:42.84]Of which now I am a part[03:01.02]I'm just another dead poet[03:03.04]I'm just another dead poet[03:06.80]I'm just another dead poet[03:08.74]Any other dead poets[03:12.76]I'm just another dead[03:14.85]I'm just another dead poet[03:17.68]Any other dead poets[03:20.95]Any other[03:22.50]Any other[03:24.53]I'm just another dead[03:26.18]I'm just another dead[03:27.47]I'm just another dead poet[03:30.61]Any other dead poets[03:32.63]Any other[03:34.27]Any other dead poets[03:42.45]Any other dead poets[03:44.66]Any other[03:46.27]Any other[03:48.11]I'm just another dead poet[03:50.48]I'm just another dead[03:54.18]I'm just another dead poet
