zeppelin
“On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore”
-Led Zeppelin (Immigrant Song)
“Can I take it to the bridge, y’all?”
-James Brown
this zeppelin
forever flies
Bonham bombing the world with rhythms –
the Spirit of Rock never dies
priests of the Soul –
sound-visionaries
we reside
in the houses of the holy
we climb
stairways to heaven
respect to Robert Johnson,
Otis Redding, and James Brown
the crunge is a point of view
keeping soul and funk around
plant a page
in the book of jones
you can alter your consciousness
without being stoned
just a drum and bass
can carry you
to the edge of space
while a guitar
can conjure God’s face
what is
will ever be
thank you
for a whole lotta love
and if there is a
communication breakdown
i’ll bark like a black dog
for there is no gallows pole for you
and who better to do the misty mountain hop
when the levee breaks
has anyone seen
that confounded bridge?
