Summer’s Spoken Winter’s Words

By Clive Alando Taylor

Summer's Spoken Winter's Words, is a Retrospective and Reflective Collection of Poetic Songs and Ideas, as if to suggest, that one Season knew what the other would do, upon looking back, in Recognising the most Recent and Past Events that have Shaped and Influenced my Artistic Expressions thus far. As much as they represent my Thoughts and Feelings to Date, in allowing me to Formulate and to Refine my Contemplations over a Defining Period of Time, as if somehow Summer were perhaps the Pre-determined Forecaster towards what I come to face, in the Future of an Eventful Winter.

Clive Alando Taylor

As a young boy at school, I always found myself playing with words & rhymes especially when it came to writing poetry, it wasn't the fact that I was especially gifted or talented but it was mainly my enthusiasm, and style & ability to be creative with words and rhyme in my own unique way, although in this day and age some may regard this as a small degree of autism but I’m not quite certain about that, as many of my peers could be just as challenging and inventive about writing prose. When I left school at the age of 16 I attended dance school and was as far removed from literature as anyone could possibly be, but I always kept a diary and also decided to study English Language part time. During break time and in between classes once again I would find myself writing & exploring various themes using rap, rhyme and spoken word to amuse myself and my fellow classmates with. At that time I didn't take it too seriously but I loved the fact that through expression along with the effect of creative writing was becoming an inspiration to me as well as a positive tool for expression.

THE WAY THE STORY GOES

You Can’t Have A King

Without A Queen

When All That It Seems

Is Good Will Hunting

Her Loyalty Is Royalty

Its’ Tit For Tat, Yeah

Whatever You Put In

Is What You Get Back

There Was Always One

Said It Could Never Be Done

A Beast Of Burden

Underneath Your Thumb

Now Ya’ Know How It Feels

To Be Denied

What You Could Never Behold

What You Could Never Have

Don’t You Know That Heaven

Is Someone Else’s Hell

Yeah For One To Win

One Has To Lose As Well

So Be Careful

What U’re Wishing For

B’Coz You Might Just Get

Everything You Want

I Came Through The Door

Rough, Rugged And Raw

Just To Rob From The Rich

Just To Feed Poor

Now Were Standing On The Edge

Of Brinkmanship

So Turn Out The Lights

The First One To Blink

An Eye For An Eye

A Tooth For A Tooth

A Knife For A Gun

For A Ghetto Youth

Not A War Of Violence

Just A War Of Silence

Not A War Of Weapons

Just A War That Deafens

When The People In The Front

Have To Face The Facts

Now You Do A U-Turn

Re-Check And Look Back

We Shouldn’t Just Survive

Just To Stay Alive

To Continue To Strive

As We Learn To Thrive

Now U’re Following The Paths

Laid Out For You

Well Its’ Gotta Be True, In-Evitable

You Can Walk With Me

Instead Of Stalking Me

As The Walls Fall Away

With The Sky Set Free

The World Is Jus’ A Circle

It
