Pockets of Air
By sam flot
Pockets
of air
Filling
up with change
Un-popped
bubbles
Intermittent
clouds flying in
Holding
new challenges or
Bestowing
the winds with a purpose
Pockets
of air
Filling
up with change
Balancing
the books
Giving
more power
To
the pawns and the rooks
Reaching
for a different style rhythm or meter
Beating
on a drum
To
send a message
From
village to village to village
Pockets
of air
Filling
up with change
Holding
pen to paper
Writing
this decree
The
boom’s gone flat
Our
leaders are lost
The
old way is the wrong way
The
old way is being pushed aside
Pockets
of air
Filling
up with change
The
boom’s gone bust
Now
it’s our turn
To
do it our way
The
old way is the wrong way
It’s
time for the old way we do things
To
step aside and watch and
Let us take a swing
The
clock struck you out looking
Bat
on your shoulder
The
old way acts bewildered
While
we get bolder and bolder
Pockets
of air
Filling
up with change
We’ve
been shoved for too long
Step
aside or be pushed aside
The
old away is gone
While
the new way gets a try
Pockets
of air
Filling
up with change
Now
its been popped and
Everything’s
fair game

Very well done.
