The Beat of the Street

The beat of the street

The beat of the street

Street beat

Street beat

Feet running in the street to the beat

Of marathon miles piled high on a heap

Of life’s choices...voices rejoice

For the goal setters whose better turns to best

When concentration and determination

Fly together on the wings of the wind

Feet running in the street to the beat

Of the joy of life riding in the light

Through the night whispering of hope

In spite of darkness and desolation

And drug highs that mimic

A pseudo escape into a state of elation

Feet running in the street to the beat

Of the evasive dollar...concerned voices holler

Don’t be fooled by illusive jewels

Or the bling bling of a counterfeit reality

Filled with the superficiality

Of a laughter that hides pain and shame

Feet running in the street to the beat

Dreaming dreams that may fade

Yet at the dawn of another day

determined to leap over hurdles

In order to grasp that golden ring

And in triumph be able to sing success!

Then concentration and determination

Fly together on the wings of the wind

And direct the beat of the street...

Street beat

Street beat
