Seranade with marinade sauce, don't stare, it scares the 'fraid off
Paid off, they stayed gone until the subtle rebuttal was made soft
Days like this I doze off, pay dues, getting dizzy with these philosophical thoughts
On optical robots and psychotropical plots involving Pandora's paradox
Water spots, half a parrot and a pair'a socks in a pear shaped prayer box
Up top, down below, somewhere in the middle we swivel and chew a mineral
We discovered lies so they covered our eyes with the sheep's wool
How exactly do we let them get away with pulling that shit bull
They aren't even human, we might as well call them a Krull
There's no excitement anymore, living life, it's just dull
Programmed to slave away and waste a day until there's nothing more to say
Became souless the minute they sold us and weighed the gold they had made
Broken spirits, expected to collect from each other the nothing trade
One time one broke away to tell others of the hearts we had before the cascade
The wave of thoughts flooded and bloodied the bodies in the nightshade
"Tonight, we shall no longer be buried by your constricting grips."
So said she whom stormed West the and took back the whips
"I want your serpent heads severed, I'm not leaving until the blood drips."
I still shed tears knowing she's gone but am grateful she showed us her gifts
If you stare long enough in the nightshade you can still see the light she emits
Given free thought we gave back to each other a smiling face
But me, I still held it in, a sacrifice that magnitude had me displaced
How did it get to that point? How did we let them control what we taste
I wandered laced, pondered for an age how we can get back in this race
This shit will just escalate, so I escaped into the universal maze

Adelaide BIG DAY OUT 2014
Reread it a few times, to allow it to sink it. Loved the flow of it, the rhythm, the style.
Very distinctive and unusual, but I thought it worked really well.
The imagery, the half rhymes. Love it.
Hope to see more like this, very cool.
Just two of my favourite parts (I didn't want to repost the whole thing again
This was written on Earth Day of last year. Any more pieces I share I'll try to write in what year it was written as I have material that dates back about 13 years. I think I'm going to post it all in this thread so that I don't spam up this forum with new threads.
A conduit used to light them sparks
You act as if you've never met a force that can't be reckoned with.
So reckless, I wreck less when stepping through wreckage.
Enter the cavern cowering in doubt
Humid enough to leave your mouth in drought
Does your life really have a price?
Leave from here, is my sage advice
Quick and quiet might save you, might
Curiosity awakened my eyes site
Claws sharper than those soviet sickles
I'll snap your sword like it was made of nickel
Crush your spine from the inside
Where are you going to, run and hide?
Ha! This is my house mother fucker
Believe that I bring you luck, sure
That won't help you when it's over
Try being silent casing the place
Erase your footprints or I'll find your trace
Blinded by fire thrown from my throat
The only riches you stole from me are my quotes
My walls covered in jewels found
These halls hallowed by sound
Ancient wisdom seen in prisms
Visions of this visage quickens
Like that of your heart rate
Panic is your dominant trait
Your plan of attack watered down
Just like that of the last town,
Simmering embers, amber colored
Destroyed by the mention of a single word
Thinking arrows can harm me is absurd
Be wary if you see a dragon with eyes closed
We nary are without one iris open dozed
Wait until you think I'm completely out cold
That's when I strike you blind as you explode
With fear, you tremble as my bass booms
This cave isn't just my home, it's fifty thousand tombs
My wings caused hurricanes
Steps bring tremors to your brain
Thoughts are aftershock's plot
From the rafters hawks watch
By the by and by
The demise of another fly
Caught in another Venus trap
My heart, like this scene is black
I'm the shooting star you see in the night sky
I'm the tears in your last goodbye
I'm the red horizon at dawn
I'm the wizard's magic wand
I'm the fear in your waking dreams
I'm the reason a baby screams
I'm the hope for a brighter day
I'm the ice in your tray.
I'm the scales on which you were weighed
I'm on your neck with the sharp end of the blade
I'm waiting for you in the dragon's lair
Never to be seen again, your end is nearer.
Lost in the darkness, I'll light the way.

don’t waste my time
come up for air in nine
drown in a pool of poison strychnine
travel incognito
i’ll show you the way carlito
what goes around comes around
time to turn around
a verb
a noun
face the ground
dusted down
prints in the cave under rock
this town earthquake
shake it down
break your frown
wipe the smile off your face
i have a sleeve up my ace
don’t let it go to waste
what a briefcase
broke your leg brace fuck face
suck eggs
basketcase
bracket phrase
end of days
worldy ways
travel solo crime pays
silk road polo
italian calico
angel gold saxaphone alto
halt yo
wait up bro
zion nation convo insation
jester case in lost my patience
make you a mime indignation
seventy sevens
can you relate to heaven
relay messages number eleven
cloud nine descending on infinity eight
trinity states concentrate
dissipation fortunate
christ consciousness
describe obnoxiousless
stress place on the precipice
dwelling cliff in the book of Isaiah
rest in peace
become deceased
try at least
thirty three coils of victory
resurrection is no mystery
immortality
actuality
the immaculate conception is a white light
manifested to do right
i bring darkness to night
i am god’s sight
his third eye
devils from the word lie
cleanse my soul of all it’s sins less i die
i ascend to sky
seven heavens
elijah
malachi
transcend space and time
with a tiger eye on my third eye
i realize i already died
so i rised
three days they cried
'why must you leave us jesus'
personal reasons
anoint the legions
in every region
leave your religion behind
why am i blind
you’re not very man kind to each brother
or your mother nature of the mind
destroy all you find
i’ll make this mine
nobody would think to look in the base of the spine
star of david
chakras align
travel forward in time
then rewind
indonesia
amnesia
or the rhine
love divine
prophets don’t lie
believe me this time
god’s kingdom in the sky
ice freezes fire in the heart of the mind
behind the line

soon they will rise from their wooden rooms.
consumed in fiery tombs
with red ribbons.
greet the priest of doom who draws his power from full moon.
reflected sun light clouds.
so spin the stone that spirits call home to crowds.
ravens crow loud.
people proud they see the sound.
they think they're connected to the eagles but way too evil
to realise that sight can't be found by a king crowned.
with eyes brown the salmon drown in dirty surf, earth and sulfur curbs.
tied to the trails hedges.
said i would chop heads to send a message.
red is oxygen or toxic instead.
green in your head but pretend it's blue in the end.
fend for yourself.
tend to turn backs on tracks and chant.
repeat it.
i can't.
outlawed by white man frightened by vitamin.
invite 'em in.
aries zone in.
mongolian ronin.
suppose the smoke spins when bandits rob coffins.
their lungs coughing.
take my offering.
lost in fossils common.
tut and bomb them.
nothing wrong with aton autumn.
ra saw them pay under the table.
hell for those not mentally stable.
crossed tracks on when all the horsemen swords blood flow samurai asian.
why wait in rain?
trained to hold in the pain.
the brain processes you feel faint.
flying like a crane.
glide.
what's there left to gain?
just a new name mantis praying for sanity intermittently,
or the mission insists on you listening for failing.
find a new fault in san andreas' line.
that's not mine serpent turpentine.
is it worth being blind?
let the bells liberty chime.
let freedom ring.
free slaves in the land of the braves.
still say jesus saves.
you should be in chains locked in a cage for betraying his name.
blaspheming his fame.
why we came?
you'll never be the same.
you see obtained.
above his frame.
you can't elevate to mane.
walk if you are lame.
five syllable chain.
still i am insane.
can't be contained.
but i'll be consumed by flame.
save you the same way.
light radiation in may.
pray.
say delay then maybe we can be unafraid on judgement day.
i won't budge from where i lay.
the deserts i've created by decay.
there's no tree serengeti.
go to the gobi.
slowly but surely your world is unfurling faster than a falling star tree v.
you can't see he.
be me then you'll see you belong to try unity.
why do we free convicts on six?
G's.

I was consumed by your gravity vacuum
Our elements reached critical mass
When the pinnacle past the no return point
We danced from one end of the cosmos to the other
Consuming galaxies that stood in our wake
Until we decided to stop at Slro Lake
Why is there so much darkness in the sky?
It was the black ash left because the trail we blazed
My lover and I
Why are there so many stars in the sky?
Because of all the offspring we produced
My lover and I
We obliterated entire species from the screen
The fires we created can still be seen
We gave birth to life as we took yours away
What is this 'time' you speak of? What's in a day?
We traveled trillions of light years
To stand before you, drying your tears
Together we usher in a new age
Where every soul will find their Twin's Flame
Because of the healing light we bring
My lover and I
You can't help but to be like
My lover and I
In this physical plane we're bound to other bodies
We know the bond we share is described only as Godly
By your brains that can't comprehend love
Universal math equates one plus one equals one
We share the same heart
My lover and I

Elevation, obviously you see preparation..
Separation anxiety, high society..
Try to rely on sobriety..
So why would we suprisedly let the Illuminati stop theives..
There's no room in the body even though the tomb gots me..
Several etheral bodies can't be measured by conventional methods..
Hard headed red tapers on meds couldn't decipher my credentials..
Influential to the masses that pass gases like comets that fast past galaxies crash..
Chaotic blast from my atomic mask..
Flashed congratulations..
Force persuasion..
Ignore the space men..
The Moors are pacin'..
Why are they hatin'?
Betrayin' the nations cuz they're human racist ever since day six..
November twenty ninety (2090) when they created the Matrix..
Back track outdated space cadets with right wingers hiding spy rings..
Fighting and lying, having no idea how to start crying..
No heart chakra, are you shocked Ra?
They way they talked flawed, stalk God and gawd odd or the fact that they bought ya..
I'm still standing whole with my skill spanning the globe, planning to roll..
Writing the code, inviting the cold water to evaporate into a melting pot of gold..
Spotted soul on the hottest coals walking, OH!!
How'd I get talked into this?
It's like napalm, stay calm or bomb radioactive elements..
What evidence?
The essence or the Essene's?
God's henchmen are testin' your loyalty to the royal blood line..
We make the sun shine..
Take away your weak rhymes n break spines from ya fake minds..
How'd ya think I got mines?
By meditating on diamonds mined from coals placed in a silver bowl..
Golden soul holding foes back as they black out lacking facts..
Just doubt..
Then rob their face, shun..
Abomination to dominate smaller nations..
Steal information and deal steel to the Masons..
Built a solid foundation of lies with no hesitation..
Intimidation tactics, snap kicks and back flips..
Mirroring spasmatic, attack wit, stack lit..
You wanna practice?
You lack writs..
You'd rather slit your wrist than own up to this shit..
Positive energy conduit..
Smack lips..
Fact is matter is flatter earth..
Mad hatter at birth..
But first we thirst to batter beat box..
You'd better beet Botox..
Drink, go think no thoughts..
Yo props, Soto Sickles ices nickels..
Cuz I plated your face in the mug shot..
Eat slugs, fuck off!
You shoulda known I don't stop..
Cuz I dust bones as an anarcheologist..
In theory that's what all of is..
Are you nervous cuz you can't service?
Disturbed pome better clone a tone..
Get money honey comb..
Burn like Romulans in common wome!!
Knockin' your dome..
Rockin' the stone microphone..
I'll show you how it's growin' on..
Goin', goin' gone..
Cappadon punishment rap..
Astonishment stacked..
While we slap hands, blacked out cuz you jack crowds..
Clouds thunder clap you def..
Fantastic force, you chose your course..
Behind get left of course your mind rewinds the shuffled deck..
Shoveled into a duffel bag, you bragged to death..
Like a broken record in every sense of the term..
So now you burn..
Me unconcerned thee fun is shortened by more than enough to fuck you up..
Suckered in the tooth, punched til you're mute..
Is it this life you dispute?
Or the ground you walk on making it destitute..
Resolut, severed heads met with truth..
Bet on Duluth, a moment of proof..
Past curfew and cut like Khufu..
Trash perfume, perfect vacuum..
Serviced in the back fume..
Like the cloud that surrounds me in this tune..
Protected in death, you expected I'd rest..
But I digress, like the rest..
Strike the West..
And spike the guest..
Cuz a body is only a test..
To see your true Self at it's best..
Illumineighty..

What are you expecting from a damp fire?
Stamp tires like elephant spiders
Crush lighters and lightning wires
Burns higher if dryer
Entire spires con liars
You've gone tired
This one bores electric humbars
Sum some numbers
Come from Summer
That seems funner
Plot schemes spot rusher
We got a runner that's distant
Like licorice, it's twisted
No margin left for error
All that remains is hair,
Wrinkled skin and air
for blood after it finally sinked in
You shreik, 'oh God no!'
I speak, 'Aportos,'
And laugh at your spastic convulsions
Chew raw garlic while staring at the sun
Your myths are what I smash and run on oxygen
And tonic is obvious as a mix
A sixth I fist to the wrist
No risk is note worthy enough to be reminiscent to my memory
Remember theives at Thebes up to their knees in my blood
Scoffing at how easily they robbed me
Turned their backs and went back to ransacking their future tomb
Whom might you ask?
History is past
There's no need to reference masks and all the facts
Fake acts lack that which make truths exact
Back track a bit
It's a habit to go off on attacks
Night terrors and day mares
Every which way I switch blades and turn people into wraiths
Devotion and faith
I cause panic and waves of doubt
Raise the hazy drought in my mouth
Your vein is a spout
Christ's on my mouth
Ice warms my blood
The eyes lie when truth is told
How does it unfold?
Into the back of the skull your mind rolled
Leave the gold fillings in your teeth
The only possessions I have is my cane and the blood rain
I flood the sane with thoughts of pain that would make you faint dead
Consider me a saint
I send you to heaven without sin shedding tears
You're the real blood sucker
Blood being energy and memories
Upsetting fearless foes
Making a mess of your souls
Meshed with coals and embers
Dying to be a diamond in December
I used rubies to fly higher
Think about this each time you fuel the flames in a fire
When you look in a mirror, you see a vampire.
~The Void~

*Writer's note: This was before Twilight*
Habit to pull a hat out a rabbit
The mic I grab it and vocab spit
Go mad with math I circle the square
say it's unfair I came from where?
Nowhere, know how
Worn out crown bit the blue tooth
One hundred proof
I rip it like Khufu and throw a dart right through you
Your point's mute
Your mouth's been whited out
Invited doubt and white washed in this bout
No crowd, it's not over
I'm still sober but I drink the venom of a king cobra
And spit it at chew
Flames I ignite for the right price
Put on ice flow
I ain't pretty when I border psycho
I might line a path that would make Gayce look nice
compared to a baby bro packed in snow
Blown out the back and tracked to the brain's bloody flow
Nutty bar, I rip apart scars and see more red than Mars
I burn more gas than stars
I rip writs on papyrus scripts cuz they didn't say how many veins I sipped,
How many faces I whipped,
How many cities I stripped,
How many names I erased,
Or how many wigs I flipped.
How many dragons I chased,
How many cultures I displaced,
How many million enemies I faced,
How many houses I cased,
How many times I out-spaced
Blacked out like a thunder cloud
I wonder myself how many kings I crowned
Castles raided with just an arrow and a blade
Did I say I swarmed the nest like it was just a little test?
No armor dressed, on my blade your neck got caressed
The reaper was my only friend
I kept crypt keepers paid til the end.
Think it's a joke
I can collapse your throat
My hands thunderclap the smoke screened
Silent screamed, I can't hear anything
My mirror is showing nothing
Rivers rushing gushing arteries from martyred slaves hardened by the light of day
You get no respect cuz yer not connected
Evidence detective, invested pay off collected
Protected, nah, just scared into thinking they're safe
Put in their place over there by the gates
Paper trace, vapors erase the chase chevy
Holy fuck, that was heavy
Hold it steady
I rolled it already
Ink bled Aires
Not necessarily
Sever the wary
Fees the tarry
Spare thee nary ever
Decked out I remember being stacked
The wise cracked this is exactly the point of extraction where we attacked
Back tracked in fact I blacked out, vacuumed clouds and doomed crowds
Wrong place wrong time spells your demise
You walk with Christ?
HA HA HA!
You thought you died?
HA HA HA!
Oh shit, your ego tried...
We know it lied
Ever heard a Native American say. "goodbye" ?
Only when you saw Atlantis rise.

slowing down complacancy.
humans pale in comparison.
another side of me that makes poesidon look inside and see he is only a thief.
sits beside himself and only believes that the only thing he really believes (and sees) is truly belief, it's beyond measure.
plots and schemes,
realises that dreams are just forever,
can never be ever really seen in waking daylight.
Mistakes,
he takes,
without foresight,
cuz you can't force insight,
it's important to be absorbant of all the energies,
all the discrepencies,
all the elementary thoughts,
pleasantly distraught.
become one with the wind, fly away as i spin,
turn into a crescent on a nimbus,
strike down lightning sound,
thunder hits the ground,
spits venom,
just remember to drown in your memories that can't be found,
hearts and souls are sold and bought,
gold is used to plot,
gold is used to plot,
gold is used to this spot,
god only knows how heaven is hot,
how hot is heaven?
seven times,
eleven times,
seventy seven times,
your memory is divine.
i can smell the sulphur on the sun,
i can stare at you with one eye open,
i spy on you, cuz i'm high on truth.
i have sun spots on my iris,
it's quite stylish,
my advice is to try this at least once.
what makes you think it's me?
it's just a mystic artery,
jakarta,
thoughts,
spotted me.
i was stabbed by an angel's knife,
brought forth by a paper christ.
who's heart was as cold as ice.
years of self abuse,
you're so obtuse,
your view of life is more round that a noose.
you're bound to hang with uselessness,
you're so clever you can never blind a uhh what?
total and utter bullshit,
you don't even know what you're pulling.
mulling over nothing,
fucking everything,
oh, it's all in my mind,
no, it's in your.
well, your just thoughts are behind,
well that was sublime,
figure of speech,
slip of the tongue,
it'll never be undone,
free will,
divine right,
predestination,
*yawn*
brain mutilation,
self menstration,
whenever we find drum that'll keep the beat,
like that of your heart,
ripped apart,
gift in art,
sailing like a ship,
smelling like shit,
hit and run: a felony quip.
i broke the hold when i toked a bowl,
smoked it whole,
cuz i provoked a roll.
choked cuz i forgot to extoke the smoke
cuz it's just a fucking joke, to you.
like that of a broken lute,
old time instrumental loop,
beat heat,
i deceit,
i defeat,
i do see concrete,
i conquer with my feet,
whore mongers are diseased,
deceased,
to exist they will cease.
like that of fertile seeds,
an herbal remedy

Even with a machete you couldn't hack it..
You're just wack kid..
Just another whacked hit victim kicked to the fish's curb..
Word to that,
On your shirt, two splatters..
Cranial matter or brainslaw drops..
You choose the latter, chainsaw chops, appendages lopped off..
I'll stop, scoff, cannibalize you with hot sauce cuz your flavor is bland..
Or caramelize to make you sweeter to each taste bud rolled like sushi..
Schezuan province, cough up a lozenge..
Therein lies the unfair cause friend..
Wrong tend to long for descend..
Each mend broken schemes..
Hopes and dreams of finding the silver lining in their mind's dynasty..
Christ's a G.O.D., wizard spells INRI..
Shell's crustacean, hell's frustration swells lust nation..
Anti-trust pale eyes, holy grail soul flies..
Really still stole dry ice to be froze, the chosen one..
Suppose the ocean's sun is just a mirror, hear hear..
Crystal clear mystical seer, we're ancient peers..
Shed adjacent tears, strike fear lightning..
Slight sting scorping, warping minds..
While the sines try to co-find a tangent spine..
I'm incandescent light wings, thousand eyes blink..
Past, present, future flies rings around Saturn..
Matter of fact, the pattern shattered your thoughts..
Chatterbox from your laughter blocks..
A little bit after Fort Knox got knocked..
Double barrel stocked shot the pharaoh's ostrich flock..
Poachers docked their life's pay the day they betrayed Carlito's Way.

walked out of prison with wisdom on loan
payed back with revenge to the tomes

beating drums bhutan, let's just ohm
um, hum, ming bird brings pome
let us pray engulfed in white light
on life, let's give all to this night
not fight, but in this world's beauty, delight
give sight to those blinded by the height
can't see past the past or the spite
which causes more suffering and strife

Oh, forgot to mention, The Void was the username I had in my online rap battles back in 2003.
And, Red Ribbons and Infinity Eight are two poems that were each one page in three and a half books that contained about one hundred pages each I mostly wrote from Spring 2000 until sometime in 2002. I've added a little here and there but not too much. Actually, they both span 2 pages but I considered them 1 page.
And force your hand to sign this waiver.
You didn't just get braver.
I made you into a mind slave with a slight degree,
A major in E Minor.
X marks the spot where I implanted the thought.
Turned you into a robot.
It's time to go off.
Turn on the killswitch.
And lay waste to this bitch..
Take aim first at those rich.
Second shots at they kids.
Third thirst for blood of grids The ones hiding in the pyramids eyeline.
Just above the skyline.
Beside the diamond mine.
Besides, whom will miss these lies?
I'd rather be dead wise than alive blind.
I Am, by design.
Cannot be defined.
So don't bother with time.
As it is illusionary
Just like peace is necessary.
Born to war from the Source. We can't fight it so why fight it?
Undeny it?
Why try it?
Silence.
Reliance.
My science is why fight us?
You win more battles with an open hand than with a closed fist.
I would be remised if I didn't say this.
Pray and kiss.
Wisdom is bliss, not ignorance you twits.
Check you later like chess, mate.
At any rate, free will is fate.
You have a predetermined choice to separate.
Planned on opening your mind, the same as premeditated.
Oversimplify complexities.
ENd you get civilized or redirected to sea.
Naturally selected and put on the dangerous species list.
Speak on these decrees.
Four hundred and fifty one degrees.
Erased with flames of the forefather's feathers.
Forced to foster the names of the bothered.
Slaughtered with water,
Knot so distraught, roped off.
Get the door, it's Pavlov.

Any time someone mentions it I fell the pain..
My best friend died and i felt it in my veins..
If you haven't let me explain..
Ever heard of the drug Accutain..
Triggers a chain of events that fucks ith my brain..
Here's some background so you can see the frame..
Ninety four, my bro says you gotta hear Release Yo' Delf..
After that there was the Wu-Tang Clan and nothing else..
Words I spit now are of how knowledge is wealth..
Made me write better with a lot of help..
Two years later I'll tell you what I felt..
I was severly depressed and wanted to kill myself..
I lost fourty pounds in two months, I didn't care about my health..
Staying up all night and sleeping well into the afternoon past three..
My bro was taking Accutain to get rid of his acne..
He went to visit our grandma in Stockton, Cali...
I wake up at eleven in the morning, not normal for me..
Wondering why I'm awake, I have nowhere to be..
Why am I holding my liver, I should be still asleep..
Two days later find out he had a stroke in the desert heat..
You're not supposed to die at sixteen years of age..
For real he should have been locked in a cage..
He was an animal, you ever seen a wolverine rage..
His homies wanted him to rob jewelry stores and tote a twelve gauge..
He said, 'nah man, I don't need that wage.'
I know he would be a battle mage..
Has all the wisdom of an ancient sage..
Why I felt that pain makes me think..
Would he be underground like Zinc..
The fact he's still alive makes me blink..
He survived a stroke and didn't sink..
In the darkness, hard liquor he used to drink..
Might have pushed it to the brink..
After being told what to do by a fucking shrink..
Not in the mood to make a chorus..
Just eleven seven lines verses..
Holding my liver my mouth fills with curses..
It felt like my pain was his..
It's all in my head, I have to ignore this..
Two years later I get angina pectoris..
My heart burns like a fire in the forest..
That's mild compared to the feeling of it being crushed..
From inside my body the blood rushed..
My thoughts have been hushed..
Did my chest get punched..
I don't feel a little pain, I feel a bunch..
I bet it had to do with the Accutain, I had a hunch..
May cause a stroke, I read the warning label after six years and a few months..
Everywhere I go the deeper pain is with me..
It's a miracle it didn't cripple my brother or me..
Sometimes he wants to hear my story, doesn't believe me..
Life is too short believe that B..
Blacked out with his chest in his knees..
Angels telling him to wake up and breath..
From your nine lives that's two of three..
Born with asthma and the cord wrapped 'round his neck..
Had to be airlifted to Phoenix to steam open his chest..
Why is he still alive, five hours without a breath..
The fact he can think and talk I give mad respect..
If this was chess he'd put you all in check..
Straight up thug with a chunky neck..
Cause of his pain I feel like a wreck..
Last Christmas he says he's having some breathing trouble..
Come to find out in his lung he burst an air bubble..
Had to go to the hospital one times double..
Made him sit in a chair that's shit bull..
Made the nurse at the hospital look like a fool..
They brought in surgeons itchin' to use their tools..
Before you go crazy betting in your pools..
If he lives or dies..
'Let me heal myself, let me try.'
'Two days and I'll still be alive.'
Walked out happy he survived..
My ex sent Reiki to help re-energize..
He healed to the doctors surprise..
If I felt his pain I'd close my eyes..

I'll throw these words in your ear and twist in..
Duck some slugs, I just bust my fists in..
Ain't no fucking way that I'll miss, Tim..
My clips are banana style bicycle seats..
Put on your bifocal or fall off your heat..
Drop them pigs, stop trailing my wheat..
Is it cuz I cut lawns and smoke the elite?
Or cuz I broke them from neck to feet?
Did you expect the suspect to retreat?
Of course not, we stay on the street..
Reppin' the curbside, disturbed by the size..
You can tell by the look in my eyes..
I'm a killer that knows a disguise..
These guys pissed I served the sky..
I shine high so you can say I sunned 'em dry..
Got 'em from on high like a sniper..
I spit most verse you can't decypher..
But most time it'll leave ya hyper..
I love rain so much I step on a spider..
My hand claps enlightening and thunder..
My hand slaps will leave you whiter..
I'm not dead but you can call me a ghost writer..
I don't boast but I have to say I am prose flyer..
While my flows down slow the coast styler..
Pillar to post I promise I'll pilot the most..
Pile up, let's tie up or try what I dosed..
Don't cry, I got your back no matter what folks..
I can console or insult, it's a matter of choice..
Rattle a cage or battle a mage, I am The Void..
Disappear unclear, lost to me, you aren't even here..
Heart of the tear, I sharpen the spears..
Looking back at me is looking in a mirror..

the imagery is great
you have a cool individual style making the poems so interesting and beautiful
the length is another beauty of your poems
i love this thread
love this especially
In another light we see the winds.
And feel the thunder crack in our bones.
All that can be squeaked out is shiny pretty.
From the mouth of clones.
Tricked into giving away brains at the swindel.
Gentle, we're not all mental.
Some of us just show more meddle.
Gave up and betrayed about, oh, a month into it.
Resolve absolved and nonexistant.
Consistancy, persons persistant envy misprinted menageries.
On the contrary, other hand, hide the truth under foot.
And trample former believers in temples, well put.
Self toot, I meant taught.
But I got caught and had to throw it off the trail.
Had them follow the pale horse to the nail.
How else would they get source railed?
Of course we jumped bail.
And stumped whales in queues about why kelp tastes like kale.
Or why God is female.
Why nod when you can say yes and be veiled.
Kind of trailed off.
Nailed cross.
Sailed across.
The waters toss and turn the tide.
Scarred? At a loss?
We learned to hide.
When the world burned we just died.
Or was it, we learned to cry.
In turn, we became concerned too late.
Self aware of all the fate.
Where does all this stuff go?
Where do we allocate?
How unfortune-ate.
Cords cut off.
By swords that run soon.
You can live without food.
But maybe not juice.
Anything else is Self abuse.
You felt used by loose moral mortals.
Who felt it was affordable to strike a cord in disharmony.
This armory holds enough weaponry to discrepency disrupt the healthy chi.
Take this key and lock the cages.
That way slaves have no need to earn wages.
We'll just burn their bones like that of ancient mages.
Who healed wounds at ruins using runes and the moon.
While doctrines were encased in flames, erased every day.
Those lessons make meditation look like a nap.
Do you still dream?
Aren't you awake sleeping?
How can't it be real if you see it with closed eyes?
Fluid and lucid, new languages become fluent.
Into a vacuum of thought it was consumed.

Redemption and regeneration.
Bourbon. Suburban. Sunburn.
Lyricist assistance with larcenist persistence.
That's the hardest lesson cuz I use the sharpest weapon.
I'll hold back and still kill you.
Spill blood that no longer fills you.
I feel though, your time is through.
It rings true. Give up, and I might have mercy on you.
A quick death so you don't suffer much.
Your life has been a crutch and I'm freeing your wraith to pursue the next punch.
Wait, it's not been an Age.
So what now? He still waits in the cage?
Perhaps he learned his lesson and no longer hates.
Perhaps he just wants back in the gates.
And perhaps he still wants to rip your neck from your face.
Cuz fuck you and your superior race.
Human waste.
No more room we make.
It was all a mistake.
Given free will to collapse our own faith.
Our own fate.
A whole world displaced.
A Deity disgraced.
Mocked and ridiculed.
How ridiculous is a riddle clueless of a cancer?
No cure for the common answer.
It's a blind mind that doesn't find the wine fancier.
It's just water, by chance a trance, see Her.
It's not magic, it's a mirror.
The light's mere presence brings joy to the weaker.
Still the seers close their eyes to the wonders.
Under which thunder do you come under?
The Seventh sun sign summer sine sum are mine.
While wholesome rolls underfoot we trample to boot.
Example stamps you out of historic books.
Midi-chloric acid trip we took.
Down a wide trail narrow and crooked as us.
The radius of the mushroom blast was up.
Until we turned back into the living dust.
Where we live forever waiting to sus.

it's the denim if you bothered to ask,
cut into a stack of hundreds and sent to the bank one by one.
Dollars are funds that pay for prescriptions and guns,
back into your pocket
or in your sock it deteriorates
with sweat and heat of your feet,
falls to the street.
I found a dollar, sweet,
says a kid who runs straight to the store to buy candy and beat.
Chilling in the till until someone needs change for a refill on gas,
driving past a cop shop to a crack shack to get rolled up and sprinkled with dust.
Two seconds later, a bust.
Filed under evidence.
Coke all over the lens.
The eye in the pyramid ain't my friends.
Government runs funds,
anarchy kingdom come,
bought the native son
but you can never sell the sun,
sold out on the pill,
the same number as everyone else is attached to your collar still,
all this, for the almighty dollar bill.
we don't falter, they fall like stocks.
in the halls of congress we pass more kills
since they're washing tonnes of fakes
we need rakes for all these laundry mills
honorary notes stickied on the side
heats up, the glue dried
keep it on the slide
zoom in on the right
the magnetic strip is a tracking device
crack the code like frying ice
spies in on the liar's dice
..for the right price..
that will suffice.
we don't suffer fools gladly
verily, we don't pay for lust
we don't need a hooker's trust
just a stake in the earth's crust
and a steak made from the first cut.
