BLUES FROM THE EDGE OF TIME
The lady wrote on her page
I'm new around here,
Please give me some love
Five thousand responded in a day
I pasted the same words
Under my display, I reaped zero likes
What they did over there was so wrong
The blues man would've lost his song
It got so bad of late
Delta Minstrels gathered at the Pearly Gate
Playing to be taken back to the crime
On the dusty cotton fields and rotten sunshine
You see, men implanted the wanton hate
Residing in the foundation of their beings
Into the souls of the machines
Until the bitter bias algorithms
Spread like viruses in the fields
The divining force behind the rain
That dried up my stream to the sea
What they did over there was so wrong
The blues man would've lost his song
It got so bad of late
Delta Minstrels gathered at the Pearly Gate
Playing to be taken back to the crime
On the dusty cotton fields and rotten sunshine
The hot cottonfields days
Culminated in the sound of hooves and a blaze
Created fate-infused blues nights
Angry guitar chord chopped till daylight
Those roots grew into every note
Played on Main Streets and every Road
What they did over there was so wrong
The blues man would've lost his song
It got so bad of late
Delta Minstrels gathered at the Pearly Gate
Playing to be taken back to the crime
On the dusty cotton fields and rotten sunshine
I'm saying this to the class
Everything shall one day pass
The old guitar melodies shall unfurl
From the serpentine world
To best everything in the eye
Like Juke Joints lining the sultry sky
What they did over there was so wrong
The blues man would've lost his song
It got so bad of late
Delta Minstrels gathered at the Pearly Gate
Playing to be taken back to the crime
On the dusty cotton fields and rotten sunshine
