FREE VERSE POETRY
Tires screamin’ like they got a death wish,
Red and blue lights flashin’ like a DJ setlist.
Sirens singing my name like I signed a deal,
But I ain’t pulling over I just like the thrill,
Foot heavy like my sins, my engine talking back,
Car making screeching sounds like it’s caught in a trap,
I did the math, the further I go the more time I got to do,
I can’t stop, I won’t stop, there is no time for curfew,
I ain’t no criminal, I just love to escape,
Road stretch long like the years in my case.
The highway my canvas, my whip is the brush,
Painting my freedom with tire marks and dust,
I hit the clutch, shifting gears,
People crying cuz I am ill,
Tell them wipe their tears,
I split traffic like Moses, I am feeling rich,
Running from the law like I am dodging a glitch,
They radio for backup, I radio to God,
Praying how I am driving stay defying the odds.
Skyline glowing’, my future unclear,
But freedom looks fire in the rearview mirror.
The Story
Everyday I feel like I am in a high speed chase, ducking the cars, let me car fly over 100. Whether in the car or just walking, as long as I have music, I feel my mind is moving 1000 miles an hour.
