    America Who?



    I'm a star in my own right; held
    captive as a warranted snapshot
    in a world so corporate - free will
    couldn't begin to describe it.


    Sink into the climate; weather
    or not you want it, rain comes down upon
    us on a day when we only expect rays
    of light - darkness holds a nameless figure.

    The tamest vigor blossoms vital signs
    of youth within 2 men and a siren
    in an epic battle to rule the Hell we
    are "free" from as it poses "all relative".

    Embellished wishes form a mock trial
    in the court room where a sealed fate
    rests in OUR hands to create conspiracy
    behind the hazel eyes of white men.

    My teeth cringe as I grab a glass
    and pour a shot of whiskey to
    calm my nerves; the system
    is creating bodily injuries at sea.


    So often we miss the pleas and
    add an E to pretend the world is at
    your feet bowing, yet the anarchist
    movements still exist as your flag burns.

    What's in a society if nothing good
    is neither in nor out of it in the first or
    even the last place? It's a cyclical
    metaphor - imprisonment is not optional.

    The walk is tough, but one step at a
    time will put you light years ahead of any
    half-wit running it's mouth before
    it's gears - a child always sits in office.

    I'm a slave to alterior motives - a
    man of ambition, who faces nothing,
    but lies is a man worth fighting
    against, not for. I bleed red.


    Where does your integrity lie - or better yet...why does it?

    Re: America Who?

    this was decent man. a little sporadic in some areas that made the thought you were trying to portray not quite coherent. the rhyming from the last line of the previous stanza to the first line of the next made it flow well, without that it would've been mad choppy. some good word play throughout and nice satirical commentary. there were some lines that just didn't fit, or were off to be honest, like the whole a child sits in office killed some of the images you had going and didn't mesh well no what i'm sayin? the last line in red was dope though, love how you twisted that.

    now hit up my piece

    I liked roughly two concepts in this piece, the entire thing wasn't executed how I thought it would be, it turned out a lot different and less "of the whole" then I figured. "Imprisonment is Not Optional" and "A man worth fighting against" were the real keys in here . And that's how I leave feedback, fuck your rhyme scheme, poet.

    later.

    edit:

    overall I enjoyed this piece. so, obviously no hate in my feedback.
