Background Noise

Background Noise – a poem by Only For The One.

Background noise.

You have a choice,

To do or not.

Forgave? Forgot?

Not too fast.

Past is past.

But the effects will last…

Keep it slow,

Because you must know,

It’s not as it seems,

Just in your dreams.

And now they nag and nag,

You’re the punching bag,

Getting thrown about,

As they yell and shout,

Criticise and abuse,

Let their tongues loose…

It’s just background noise,

Because you have a choice.

And it’s your life,

So you must pick right.

Don’t get stuck in vice,

You must pick right.

Don’t lose your cool,

Or your self-control.

Think ahead.

What if I’m striken by death?

What’s the consequence?

There’s a recompense.

Wake up! Regain your sense.

Turn your life around,

Don’t regress.

Because when the trumpet sounds,

There’ll be deep regret.

Move on with poise,

Beyond the background noise.

There’s jobs to be done.

So go out there and stun.

And live only for The One.

Only For The One
