POEM: When the Music Hits You

when the music hits you

skank

wine

dip

and even if you trip

shake

twist

jump

pump your fists

wiggle your hips

jiggle your arms

move

like love kissed you

turned you around

and surrounded you

with peace

and happiness

feel the vibrations

capture the moment

with movement

off or on the beat

move your feet

release your fears

and when the music hits you

skank

wine

dip

and even if you trip

shake

twist

jump

pump your fists

wiggle your hips

jiggle your arms

move!

POEM: Intense Analysis

Some say I came from an ape

then I was like sheep to slaughter

enslaved and treated like a mule

to work like I had no value

other than being a tool

to make a next man rich

then I became a goat

and I broke the barriers

jumped the gate

and escaped

modern days today

and now I am back in 

sheep mode

falling for the criticisms

bad information

pretty much enslaved

mentally

while some say

the sheep mode

is good because Jesus

saved the 100th sheep

who was lost

while some literally

treat me as a horse

as a debate rages on

really and truly

I want to be more like a bird

flying free

or like a bee

a pollinator

but after all

we are humans

supposedly the highest order

but more living

in disorder

jealousy, hatred

and maladministration

in the age of information

we have regressed

lost that progress

from the supposed 

ape age

the primintive time

when we were resilient

and more silent

how will we find

ourselves again?

New Video from Koffee - West Indies (Official Video)

I am loving this track and video:

• high energy
• penetrating vibe
• video showing some really cool island scenes
• real 'West Indian' flavor with the food and the family

I need to hear this song today! Thank you, Koffee for "West Indies."
