The American Midnight

[Truth Iscariot]

"The American midnight - Rocket power, Reggie in dimebags." - Mr. Black



I pledge allegiance to the flag
Of the United Hate of America
And to the Plutocracy For which it stands
One Feudal State Under God
Divided
With shackles of falsehood for all

The Seer of Truth says...

"The demagogue is corrupt & wildly caught up in political bluffs
Polar flips of the man have rendered the pendulum stuck
Gravity?! Fuck, that went out the window with justice and honor
All laws broken, lying in graves marked by the surnames of their fathers
Binding ties are the tourniquet which drives the vessel of Martyrs
Who have only honeyed words and possess no gold to barter…"

It's right because WE say it's right...

Pinstripe Suit sentiments squelch urban youth’s resilience
I’ve a concrete construct designed to undermine brilliance
I see visions of potential squandered like a commodity
If you’re going to rape it – hold it down – do it properly
Keep your high attire clean as you penetrate your monopoly
Seed the earth with bastard hypocrisies and shaded anomalies
Say your piece at the scene of the crime and then flee.
.
.
.
It’s the American Way…

Capitalize to acquire the apple of your Capitalist eyes
Strange Fruits hang from poplar trees still so it comes to no surprise
That we’d bend the will of masses to supply our hearts desire
A self-feeding fire – A pyre rigged and wired to burn fig & brier
…Alike. Fanciful aspirations akin to wretched pledge which you recite
Much like an infectious blight reproducing itself with unwavering sleight
We are the architects of pain, catering plight – enthused masochists savoring life
We are demons of the dark lord bathing in light
We are the Children playing hide and seek in The American Midnight

"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." - George Orwell

There's a plague brewing and it's all of our doing
Our reality has transfigured to the rich elite's musings
Their American dream embodied by the struggles we're facing
Democracy was a page in the the history books worth erasing

Read this in your battle


Really dope intro.. that was nice and unique.. I was a bit slow at first to understand it but I caught it on 2nd read what it represented..

I never doubt your vocabulary - you have a big spectrum of words - you use them well and sometimes a little to much and it takes away the quality of the piece.

I admire your work because your imagery is strong - and this piece illustrates just that

I think the middle lacked consistency but everything else was dope.. I liked the message in this though.. really deep.. and has a truth in it as well. the way you described your message in the topic
was dope.. it was a solid topical.
