Direct Orders
You are given direct orders, straight from High Command, to rock out. Rock out like its nine o'clock on a Saturday, and you started rolling against the regular crowd. Rock out like you just fell of a 900 foot cliff and somehow you survived, and your friends have the video to prove it. Rock out like the rules don't apply anymore. Rock out like you can divide by zero. Rock out like you reached the end of the road, but you found out that somebody laid more pavement. Rock out like its 1969 and somebody took one small step and one giant leap... at the same time! Rock out like you took on two extra jobs just to feed your family. Rock out like you are on the road and you can smell the wild flowers. Rock out like you just got the **** out, and now you free to just rock the **** out. Rock out because you just prayed to God to take you instead of her. Rock out like you just went scuba diving for the first time, and you rediscovered the flavor lime, and you found the word with which orange rhymes. Rock out like every time you speak, you speak with alliteration and imagination. Rock out like I have a dream, and she dreamed a dream, and they were California dreamin'. Rock out like those California Gurls allllways showed up to your parties. Rock out like it snowed for the very first time this winter. Rock out when you can, not if you can, because you can. Rock out like somebody just smiled at you, and you said if somebody smiled at you, you weren't gonna jump off. Rock out like you just got a knock out, likes its Friday and you get to clock out, like the NBA isn't gonna lock out. Rock out like you just met Him. And He led you to her, which in turn led back to Him. Rock out like you get to drive a new car everyday for the rest of your life. Rock out like you get to blow things up! Rock out like today was your birthday. And so was yesterday, and the day before that. Rock out like you just met a guy with a funny name. Rock out like its hip to be square. Rock out like Death is your friend. Rock out like you just got orders, straight from High Command, to rock.... out.

i really like how you used rock out in a sense that you do it when you have to do hard things. Like.........you don't always have to be winning the lottery to rock out. But you're taking on two jobs to feed your family. i really love that!!
ReplyDeleteGood piece. I like your take on it.
ReplyDelete"Rock out like somebody just smiled at you, and you said if somebody smiled at you, you weren't gonna jump off." I love that line its really deep. Also "Rock out like you just met a guy with a funny name." I like how you had little things like that in your piece. Sometimes those little things are the best ones to rock out to.
i loved the line, "Rock out like its 1969 and somebody took one small step and one giant leap... at the same time!" sooo good.
ReplyDeleteok first of all your blog scares me. second of all that was amazing!! i love your style! its exciting, and fun! but then serious in all the right places! i got so into reading this! my favorite part was "Rock out because you just prayed to God to take you instead of her." that really got me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments. and yeah uffy i tried not to do the typical rock out lines. you don't need to win the lottery or get your first kiss to rock out. nearly everybody writes those lines.
ReplyDeletehalo renrut, i appreciate you seeing that i tried not only to put in really big, 0nce-in-a-lifetime things but also the little things.
freud, that was one of my favorite lines too. all throughout the poem i put in song or history references like that. see if you can find them all.
and texas if my blog scares you than i have done my job. hopefully you keep reading though, as i'll be reading yours.
