Good luck, don't drop late, & make this dope.
Nique, apparently Brix is forcing us to follow his stipulation that we absolutely must choose eachother's topics... I was also going to say write on anything you would like so that I get your best work, but I will just choose you a topic that I think suits you and looks like would spark an interest. I don't mind what you choose for me, I will find a way to write a topic for anything. If you have to, just pick one at random, roll a dice and number six topics you like or something. Good luck, I'll post you your topic tonight after basketball, I don't have time right now to think. =D
EDIT:
I thought this was kinda cool since it's open ended. Hope you agree.
YOUR TOPIC
Everything you touch is turning out to be gold. Not literally, but everything is going your way. Then it hits. What?
Good luck. If you can, pick my topic before saturday, I am hopefully able to get it done Friday night after work when I get off around 1 AM-ish... Saturday I'm to South Carolina for the Tennessee Vols game and won't be back til Sunday morning and I have to work that afternoon, I don't wanna write on Sunday morning... =D

Everything you touch is turning out to be gold. Not literally, but everything is going your way. Then it hits. What?
You've never been bothered in ways,
To have everything for you, and just fall into place,
You're at awe with this phase, and it appears to be love,
Or some good in due time, or the spirits above,
You've clearly been touched,
And this pattern's consistent,
It's beyond your control, no mere characteristic,
Been established, officient, and it's on the surface,
The most obvious to others, yet you don't deserve it,
But to some, you're perfect;
For what it's worth, you're equal,
Because there's always some good in the worst of people,
And at first, you're feeble, more like a coward that would,
Runaway, but find strength in the power of good,
Devour the book of deeds, and its many pleasures,
Reading up on high hopes and some friendly gestures,
And envy's never an option because acceptance covers,
All the wrong in your life, if you're helping others,
Now, the spell is ruptured, and no warning could,
Hold you back because your role is now understood,
You've pondered, looked; Your fate is molded in pencil,
If you can't save yourself, save those with potential,
Then it hits you,
That life is sometimes unrealiable, worthless,
Then it strikes you, that we all are alive for a purpose.
-Nique.
Pretty busy this week. Peace.

"River Deep, Mountain High"
At first life bursts in a vegetative forest,
Cycles rehearsing as the birds sing their agitated chorus.
Snow leopards supposed to go to the peaks,
...Fish float better...
A toads throat led her to tributaries and creeks---
It's barely been weeks, but time is measured in meals...
The weary antelope seeks for what he hopes and he feels---
So many teals, shades of green and blue over ground,
Camouflaged snakes that aren't seen until a shrew has been found---
They move without sound, the prey won't even know...
...They've been poisoned...
No choice when nature's circle must flow.
The Great White hunts for small sharks and seals
It sees light-skinned things which call barks and squeals...
Mistaken he bites, his teeth are like his hands,
Now he knows by taste this flesh is a messy waste of glands...
Too much bone, he pursues more to chew for meat,
It's now known that human beings aren't food to eat---
We choose deceit, and label an innocent act murder,
Leaving people's pride in tact with revenge that impacts further...
Another species endangered, we make hunting laws strict
At least the animal's behavior can be explained by logic...
The cheetah awakens and begins the search for fuel,
For the feeblest rations, although the killing seems cruel.
But her belly is full, so she can lie down...
Takes what she needs and recedes to hide now---
...Why prowl all day?...
People do it since we're too stupid to allow our clay...
Flesh, the fowl get paid less, so keep on takin'...
The human race must be erased because we're all forsaken...
Original Sin, we're born to menace the Earth...
Judgin' our personal worth by if we overcome poverty's curse---
But the body is worse, it's the temple of death
We deal so much out before we allow ourselves the rest...
The salmon are breeding and the dolphins are schooling,
The same men are bleeding to fund our constant retooling---
Responsible fueling is just a dream we believe,
Christmas is the only day we'd rather give than receive---
We live and we breathe, just like everything else,
Yet we insist it's these traits that take us into God's house...
We overfish and take from Earth her resources,
She's about to burst, at the worst, over time recourses---
Climates support us, but will they forever?
Not if Mother Nature's allowed to comtemplate her endeavour...
No mountain too high, river or ocean schism too deep...
For the fountain of life to create organisms that creep-
In our prisons we keep so many singing birds caged...
Maya Angelou weeps for us at the end of our days...

votee= Envigale

Engivale got this. I mean, Nique didnt even drop close to her normal par or it might've been different. In all reality, I wasn't really feeling either. Engivale, your shit against me was better. It had haphazard flow, sometimes on track and otherwise reading convoluted. The topic was alright, it seemed a little forced but you had good lines. Nique..well, you know you didnt drop too good this week.
/v Eng
Vote - Engivale
Nique had a nice drop. Flow on point like usual. Take on topic wasn`t too crazy. But I liked it. Eng showed up and matched Nique with the flow factor I think. And I thought he had the better meaning in his piece. Gotta go with him on this one.

i just think he decided to come through with more this week, nique had her standard greatness, with flow, multies, and emotion, but engivale just wrote better than he usuaully does and took it this time. he had better mechanics as wel, and he hit the topic better, ive read some topics with the topic niquye used before, still a little fresh, but engivale was original, so vote

yep, I'm gonna go with the rest of 'em, Engivale took this one in my opinion. Nique didn't drop her best, far from it. I think that if she had been on the top of her game she would have taken this battle. She still had a nice peice none the less, it was great to read, and really interesting. But Engivale really killed it right here, he had amazing imagery and a very good flow, it was a dope peice all in all, huge props to both writers. Hope you sign back in soon Nique.

Everybody predicted against me. Then someone went and said that I would get steamrolled or something, that I posed almost no threat whatsoever as compared to BTK. Never give a writer inspiration, especially when I was so excited to begin with to go up against my favorite writer on this website.
I agree that Nique's verse was not up to her usual standard. I don't think she wanted the topic I gave her, I thought it was suited well to tell a story, but I think she had probably liked some other topics better and was disappointed to have that one picked, so just kind of forced it. I apologize for picking that topic, I guess.
