Analysis of CAN I PAINT A PICTURE FOR YOU
Derrick E Carey 1981 (Sarasota)
For so many years
I have set
In silence
Unaware of the
True nature
Or true
Horror
That raised it's self
Right in front of me
Unbelievable
That this is
Unfolding
Right here
In front of
My eyes
All I wanted
Was revenge
That was the words
I heard in the distance
Of the night
My reply
I'm going to
Shut that shit
Down
Why
Because I
Rewrote
That book
CAN I PAINT A PICTURE FOR YOU
Get him out
Of that house
And watch
What he does
Look at him
Trying
To be smarter
Than what
He is
I’m thinking
Followers of the
Show
The life of
A American writer
A study of
Human behavior
Physiological development
Shocked
The people are
Why
The challenge
Was made
And
Now we engaged
In this dance
CAN I PAINT A PICTURE FOR YOU
Wait until
He has to do
It by himself
Watch what happens
He was living off
Of his
Grandfather coat tail
Thiers’s no way
He can
Make it
Out in
The world
On his own
I'm thinking
Spectators
But to what
A life without sin
Baptized
But not committed
To man church
Completely exonerated
Their for nothing
I do
Is sin
CAN I PAINT A PICTURE FOR YOU
