Deep Breath is a Dose
written by: George Siaway Karnea Boakai
Taking a stand behind the microphone
Chanting above your listener’s height for favors
Resolving the wars within your heart, of what to say or where to start
With push and push, take a dose
Sitting upon the edges of broken glasses
Or lying upon a bed of polluted gasses
There is an unceasing pain stuck within your belly
With push and pull, take a dose
Situated in the middle of the crossed roads
With dilemma dancing to the beats of your heart
Like a mask dancing to the beats of congas
With push and pull, take a dose
Off and On like the light expected by Country
Dim and Bright like the bulb born of fluctuations
burning down your soul to flames and ashes
With push and pull, take a Deep Breath.
Diagnosing the infections under your sleeves
With no hope of procuring recovery medications
Like in and out, with a long hold take a deep breath, take a rest, and take a nap
A deep breath is a dose, like First Aid.
