    Governed by Shadows (continued)

    ~Governed By Shadows~
    Part 1


    Can you even see from my level? Distorted views beneath a worlds rubble
    Rebels roam vast wastelands of a high-tech societies crumbled remnants
    Fumbled politics elude R moral compass, hence anxieties double penance
    Pompous figures slander he w/grounded center, elitists' in full splendor?
    Rendered visions spark social givens like elusive members of skull N bones
    A Clandestine branch sway's in the shadows of three flimsily rooted twigs
    Majestic tops peek at full bloom yet quiver as false flocks seek out R doom
    Presume danger looms in dark of mental gloom under rein of sadistic goon
    A party that bathes under the Damascus moon begs 4 mushroom plumes
    Inciting terror ignites preemptive measures impacting every fabric of life
    Defense mechanisms engage in this battle torn night, rage erased all lines
    Between what's wrong & what's right, deprived of sight is mans only plight
    Will he soon see the Devine path set before him and shown in radiant light?

    Governed by he who walks N the shadow of night, cloaked in secrecy yet
    A presence brilliantly Drenched in folklore, passed off as political hype...


    Shadows cast shrouds over informative might, blankets' population despite
    The Intel it cites, true agendas at war broadcasting from towering heights
    Contrite whoas echoed from polite foes, suppose a new truth's exposed
    Would our HOUSE fold under weight of untolds'...? Values erode in a Flash
    News splash!!! Administrations dark past sync'd up in digital frames hashed
    Together, explained only by partisan gains, campaigns trained to drain all
    Remains of HIS Devine reign, pains me to watch such biased exchange
    Deranged policies practiced by the estranged leaders of world sovernginty
    Translation: Government free from external control- Does this really show?
    In societies Governed by Shadows Truth is... Well WE may never know...

    ~Governed By Shadows~
    Part 2



    Covert warriors with secret orders slip thru boarders behind closed quarters
    Gather Intel in violation of major sanctions w/a close eye on hostile nations
    Radical organizations depend on state representation thorough examinations
    Proves positive collaborations were whispered aspirations for mushroom skies
    Shadow tactics defy all conventional cries untold truths and systematic lies
    Interception of signals w/gizmos designed to be mounted on gimbals aligned
    On refined tiers that can clearly see thru dense cover w/auto focus imagery
    From high in the sky perched w/a birds eye view system set to search mode
    Unmanned aerial drones head home target acquired impact backed by hellfire
    High tech assasinations now carried out under a cover of stealth penetration
    Hints of espionage in open dialogue an industry sabotaged by societal flaws
    Heed the writings on the wall radical attack hounds often overstep bounds
    Ignorance astounds my light browns, when their arrogant frowns cast down
    On the people’s majority, further inspection detects lies in pseudo news story

    Governed by he who walks N the shadow of night, cloaked in secrecy yet
    A presence brilliantly Drenched in folklore, passed off as political hype...


    Strategic assaults launched in multiple mediums, question who's feeding'em
    With wars fought in the shadow realms head figures are found at the helms
    From Crowned rulers to world leaders... The Sheiks, Sultans and land owners
    Prime ministers & those elected sinister administer a skewed form of morality
    Brutality based tactics 'shielded' from reality, in actuality 'shadows' DO exist
    Resist conventional trains of thought, normality will never expose such a plot
    In others words think outside the 'box', transmitted illness often kills da flock
    In the age of Misinformation, communications lost, lip movements squashed!
    At what cost do we combat this loss? A fine 'tuned' price tag already bought
    Sits atop our watch, building an army of set-top soldiers, while war is fought
    The battle rages on blink and the image's gone! Can you not see the pawns?
    We're societal puppets, our masses strung by the few, mislead and confused
    Yet we refuse anything but the News as reported by the channel we choose
    Ignorant to both views, in a world Governed by Shadows we all tend to lose...



    To be continued...

    legend material.

    ^Thank you kind sir,
    Just something I'm doing in stages, since time is not my friend as of late. I hope to finish it (part 3), shit who am I lying to, I hope to find time to start it... Thanks for taking the time to read, I know it's kind of complex with all the metaphors, but I think it's worth the time. Although it's a political piece, I designed this to be bipartisan as possible, since the focus is of a bipartisan nature...

    I am glad you think it's legend material, as I did put some effort into this, not to mention years of research...

    im appologize for the lack of participation this site gives to the more fortunates. This read was extensive and really seemed barbarick at times. I felt like i was sitting in the middle of Dooms day while reading it. It really made an interesting read..full of great imagery and overall writters voice. I could see this performed at a spoken word of some type. Very articulate and percise on the views as well..Nice work
    softfocus



    while you write to rapbattles I perform on stage

    How's it feel to lack in comparison?............

    Damn bounce this was great. You had amazing details which made your piece that much better in my eyes. Imaginary was dope, you have a nice way about putting the thoughts in my head. Overall great piece I can wait to read Part 3.

    I don’t even know where to begin.

    I really enjoyed this script. At first I was tempted not to read it because it is a really long read, but it was really worth it.

    This song had a great usage of multi’s along with good flow. It has a powerful message to it, but still kept a consistent pace.


    Well done.
