Rock of Ages

hip hop is booming
out in some car
feel it through the floor
a throb not musical to me
and kiks are just sneakers
nothing new
aimless is rampant in
the American way

drums threaten
thugs don’t see me
though my songs are
the rock of ages

I fear as I live
attuned yet voiceless
that the future may not
bring hope

and though I danced
not at Woodstock but
close enough
the guns still kill
but don’t get those new
kiks dirty homeboy
just listen to the beat
