Train of Thought

Train Of Thought 
Overcrowded Train 

Chit,.. chat,.. chit... chat. 
Wheels of life moving, 
Staying on track 
Chit ,chat, chit ,chat.  

Chug chug chugging, 
Tracks of society, 
Over rule natures priority 
Chug chug chugging

Ra di Boom Ra di Boom
Humanity coming of  the rails, 
Morality sinking, filling up jails 
Ra di Boom Ra di Boom 

Ding ding ding a dong 
Journey almost ended 
Natures poorly tended 
Ding ding ding a dong 

Screech screech halt, 
Devastation is our fault
Reverse the trend, 
Or its journeys end 
Screech .......screech...... HALT !

  2. Love the onomatopoeia... it adds depth to the journey; hopefully reverse slows things down.

  3. I liek the use of sounds - it propels the words forward, a quickening toward that "halt" at the end. Good poem.

  4. This is a very oral piece - read aloud it bumps along very nicely -captured a good rhythm
    strong words at the end really hammer home

  7. Love the sounds of the train... and that image is reality.. for these people, it is the only route to go from one point to another.

  12. What a dynamic piece. So much going on in here. I love the global message and the projective tone, there's also a natural flow to the piece- the words replacing the choo choo sound was very fresh and I agree completely with Arron, this piece is made to be read aloud, thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed the read
