This bomb
(while listening to Jimmy Cliff sing Guns of Brixton) this is how the bomb will go let me tell you so you’ll know how first it'll get you in the head, clean up all the things you’ve read about disconnect and dedication and take us down to our dusty nation and no one has to know where no one has to go no one will be able to say or show how the world has tried to grow us into more but we refused to let it go this bomb will tell us right from wrong this bomb will set us straight this bomb will put us in our place this bomb will give us just what we deserve this bomb will let us drop and drop and drop ...in case you think Phaiga don't count... ...puttin' the Po' in NaPoWriMo...

Wow. Dark. Strong. Deadly. The way I like my coffee.
Thank you Susan. I’ve been sitting on this one for a while, thinking I needed to do more, “finish” it. And then today, I looked at it and it felt done already.
Except I changed participation to dedication…and messed with the line endings…and cut out a few extraneous words…and…and…
😉
Love the end result, JCC.
WOOHOO. I REALLY love this one. Dark, rich and filled with truth. My favorite flavor.
Thank you Alice–I thought you might…
Nice. For some reason, the words “This bomb is bound for glory, this bomb” is playing in my head. Thanks for the Jimmy Cliff link – it’s been ages since I’ve seen him perform…
Haha! THat is perfect! Maybe this piece isn’t finished after all…
Though aware of Jimmy, I was not all that familiar with his music. A friend of mine brought over his newest album and it is awesome. It’s pretty cool to see someone of his era doing a cover of the Clash, music circling upon itself.
