Hello Steemians! The ADSactly Poetry : Lucid Lyrics Designed to Expand Minds series is designed to be a sort of platform for sharing some of my greatest works with @adsactly readers.
Many of the verses I've shared and continue to share were written in collaboration with a friend of mine.
Others were written as solo projects and some made their way to the recording booth.
I've got another special piece for @adsactly readers today, this is a short verse which is designed for readers to 'sing-a-long'.
The background music I wrote it to has been embedded below. I dare you to give it a shot!
I really hope readers enjoy these and let me know what they think about them.
Contemplate
Chorus 2x
Get moving with the groove now can feel it in your boots now.
Get to doing what ya do now.
And we living in that new sound.
I bust flows for a living busting rhymes to get the people with it.
Always grateful for my blessing like its thanks giving
Swinging from branch to branch like a gibbon
Tryin to make a world I’d like to live in but listen
Better to follow the path that ya make for yourself
Can’t really follow what they say because most of them been led astray looking for help
But who’s gonna give it, let me point your attention to the exhibit
Was there ever a point when humanity wasn’t in a perpetual state of insanity?
Perhaps a time where we lived in peace and harmony?
And it really doesn’t seem so far fetched to me when we look at our history
It’s plainly visible to see there were societies that just managed to be
Looking after their world put their minds at ease and led to a better future for their offspring
Could you think of a better way to live and provide a better offering for the generations to come. When I put my own mind to the task I can think of none.
It’s so hard to pay attention when they got us on the run.
I don’t even have a minute to work through how it all’d begun.
But what’s the point of living if the heart can never love.
So when its time for dying I just hope I’m finished up.
Living, loving life, helping others, rolling dice taking risks to set things right clearly I’ve thought about this a lot but then things are looking up the positivity is positively moving me to succeed and if ya want you can come along and do it with me I’d gladly extend my hospitality.
Sure it can be overwhelming but whats the point in living life blind to atrocities and doing nothing isn’t better to take a chance and be about something, if you got a goal then go get it, no matter what happens at least you had good intentions, there’s not a single doubt in my mind if you give it your all you’ll be the best at it.
Said it’s mind over matter we can make it automatic and there’s no backing down cause we’re climbing up the lattice and each brick that we stack brings us closer to our palace and the kindness that we show towards others goes a long way in obliterating the malice and hate that has spread through our species like a plague said its time to get our heads up and be the ones to bring in brighter days.
Just think of all the possibilities still trying to add them all up like infinity whatever the task may be have no fear we can complete it easily flexing leadership qualities like a general from the Byzantine.
Want to sing along?
This piece was very fun to create. It just came so easily and really was a lot of fun to perform. Give it a try yourself and see if you can find a nice cadence for it.
No matter what, I'd very much like to know your thoughts and feelings about these, what you liked or didn't like, I'd love to hear your opinion either way!

Many times we strive to follow in the footsteps left by others, and we do not make our own way. Mistake. Each one must follow his own heartbeat, his own thought. Going against it must be a risk that must be taken at some point. Especially if we see that there is something with which we do not agree, which is harmful not only to you, but also to others. We cannot be insensitive to our environment, to others, to the problems of others. Let us try to make a difference. Greetings, @zentalk

Great verses.
I guess, for some societies, that might have been the case, once. For others it is the case now. When we look at the history of some cultures, take the Dutch, for instance, there were times when they seemed to always be engaged in some confrontation or another, whereas now their society looks ideal, their political and economic system looks healthy and solid, even though they may be onvolved in pulling political and economic global strings here and there.
When I look at the history of my country, I don't think we have ever enjoy total peace and prosperity, even though we have had our moments.
We are supposed to live life with a purpose and make our lives worthy of a line in humanity records, but where do we find that purpose? What voices do we listen to? What tools do we get and from whom?
Everything hapens so fast now, we are supossed to be in so many places at the same time, that we end up being nowhere, being nobody and doing nothing.
I think that what the media has sold us is precisely the idea that we need to shelter ourselves from so much craziness and that's what reality shows and social networks are all about: to keep us away from ugly things we cannot control, to keep us pursuing beautiful dreams that we might never get to achieve or enjoy because that ugly reality keeps devouring our wolrd and there won't be a wolrd for those dreams to materialized, to begin with.
PS.

It is necessary that we become aware of the way we want to live our lives, even if it sounds tautological. For there is no predetermined or exclusive path, in my understanding.
Perhaps there have been reduced experiences of people who have lived in peace and harmony, but in general I believe that it has been an invention of man to believe that something like an Arcadia or Golden Age existed. History and anthropology show us that human beings from very remote times have built relationships of violence and fear among themselves, even in primitive communities, which have been very idealized. This does not mean that we do not demand and activate ourselves for a life of peace and harmony, as far as possible. Greetings, @zentalk.

@Zentalk, When it comes to life then it's all about listening to our heart and making our own path because life is a cycle and if we wait for someone then may be the next someone is waiting for other someone. Our path will be achieved through our efforts only. Stay blessed.
