Poetic Discourse
Unleash my critique on this hip hop motif
From my core belief
Not just opinion I speak
Citation needed
Maybe whats needed
Is the ability to think in abstracts
Highly analytical
State my premise on pure observation
The human dilemma got me cynical
Diseased like its clinical
Condition is critical
Ode to this blissful ignorant status quo
Preaching authenticity at the podium
Look like a mask to me
Got you playing the game
Navigating the popularity olympics that constitute daily living
Plugged into the social matrix
Juggling my egoic manifestations
To make it conscious
To make a statement
Stand for something in this sea of hatred
Give it meaning while I can
Maybe I make it to the source of my essence
This my poetic discourse/confession
My whole persona cast in the fire with lessons
Walking through the mire of obsession
Out of my cave Depression
Shatter my chains of attachment
Scatter my brains in the fine print
Self destructive nature is a God send
Only at the bottom do I see how far I come
And how lost I've been
In the shadow of shame's torment
Let the hell of repetition foment
Like rotting flesh of indignation
It was my choice my calling my burden to bear
But these excuses I'm done being scared
Snipe the masses
Infiltrate every class every clan
Apex predator on the lamb
To hell with reputation
Every man's corpse cold to the touch
Placed my hand on his casket
This how we end up
So fuck opinions
give me that realness
Show me your fear
And we'll fuck death away
(Mojo rising this world is a will to power and nothing beside)
How quickly we forget the dead when they're gone
Memories live on in pictures and songs
Moving on we the collective
Carry on
Last train out
Cold sweat restless endeavor
And yet
Never say never
Scream upon awakening
Scene upon naked scene
Life carries on for the bold and the weak
The sun shines strong on the false and the fair
Cry out to God for the cross that you bear
Shout to the night sky
Silence
Too much for cowardice to bear
Faith is but a shield for the terror in your stare
Your soul trembles at the thought of eternity
What if there really is only nothing?
No light no tunnel
Something less glorious something more subtle
In the depths of collective unconscious I dive into darkness
As I relate to my various selves
Various characters on the shelf
I grow weary of the journey
Though I falter
Though I stumble
Challenged by life and it makes me humble
My soul take flight on the story when I slumber
Fragments of consciousness
Like pieces of a puzzle
Getting facetious
Let me grab my muzzle
I roll and I tumble
Cried the whole night long
Muddy waters cloud my vision
Soul of the artist
Expression is my religion
I'm a lover
I'm a fighter
Philosopher and writer
Try to grasp from the moment
Something holy
Something vital
might just go viral
Plaster my poetic banter on the masses
Covered in molasses
Sticky with reason
It never collapses
The way I leave 'em stuck on concepts like:
What just happened?
Take you for a ride through my emotional-mental faculties
Grab a dictionary and a blanket for security
We aint skimming the surface
I'm like oceanic currents
Shit goes deep but don't be nervous
Relax madam I'm a doctor we'll have you right as rain in a minute
Nurse bring the prophylactics I'm going in
My vocabulary pour down in such beautiful symmetry
Stimulating imagery like visual calligraphy
They say " damn boy you good with words"
Only wish I could talk my way out this curse
Beholden golden Self absurd
Folded lotus petals upon my verse
I'm doing spiritual backflips to compliment my physical
Lyrical madlibs keeping my rhymes visceral
My poetic flow like sudoku
Systematic approach to all roads
That's why I'm dope
Stick to the fundamentals
No reason or hope
Bleeding my prose on the page
Lost in a haze
Foggy recollection
Casting my gaze
The collective
Motives are gauged
Behavior tested
Playing the game of life
Though I detest it
Play well to live well is all I can reckon
Live by choice not by fate
Clean yo room clean ya plate
Take time to give something back along the way
Waste not the moment with worry
Embrace and take your place in time
The story is yours to write
Until next time
If you even get another chance
Nothing is promised
So I solemnly witness solipsistic dispositions
On the stage of life conflicted
My laughter booms across the room of eternity
The impending doom of infinity
Melancholy dripping sweat on the canvas
Blood and shit add depth to the image
I wept at the finish
Such a savage creation
Man sits mad stifled witness
Staggered and speechless
In a way that only his tears can express
From my core belief
Not just opinion I speak
