Become as New

Get high on life not on drugs
get real with who you should become
become alive don't dig your grave
become the master not the slave
slave instead on living right
slave to treat your body right
right your sins against mankind
right your damages against your mind
mind your strengths to not be weak
mind the truths that you should seek
seek to thrive so you don't grope
seek for other ways to cope
cope with problems that arise
cope through optimistic eyes
eyes that know your inner soul
eyes that see the picture whole
whole in both your body and mind
whole and free from being confined
confined to locking the bathroom door
confined to always needing more
more voids you only fill with strife
more becomes your way of life
life of wretchedness and turmoil
life consumed by turbulence and toil
toil instead by achieving set goals
toil no more with smoke filled bowls
bowls inhabited with toxic sorrow
bowls that stricken each tomorrow
tomorrow sucks as did today
tomorrow perhaps throw that bowl away
away with every criminal endeavor
away for good as in forever
forever caught in a tidal wave
forever forgetting you were once brave
brave and proud of who you want to be
brave to live a life drug free
free from burdens of the pipe
free from all the disastrous hype
hype erected by any means
hype carried out by desperate fiends
fiends who help you dig your hole
fiends who rob you of your soul
soul that's left without any heart
soul deserving a renewed start
start the path designed for you
start your life abundant and new
new to grow without the pain
new to live free from the reign
reign
pain


The Blitz Poem, a poetry form created by Robert Keim.

This form of poetry is a stream of short phrases and images with repetition and rapid flow. Begin with one short phrase, it can be a cliché. Begin the next line with another phrase that begins with the same first word as line 1. The first 48 lines should be short, but at least two words.

The third and fourth lines are phrases that begin with the last word of the 2nd phrase, the 5th and 6th lines begin with the last word of the 4th line, and so on, continuing, with each subsequent pair beginning with the last word of the line above them, which establishes a pattern of repetition.

Continue for 48 total lines with this pattern, And then the last two lines repeat the last word of line 48, then the last word of line 47.

The title must be only three words, with some sort of preposition or conjunction joining the first word from the third line to the first word from the 47th line, in that order.

There should be no punctuation. When reading a BLITZ, it is read very quickly, pausing only to breathe.
