    Fate is a linear path, declines to ever sway
    A passing moment, finds a place in yesterday
    Hope is forever a path that lay, a sever'd way..
    A beaten path where the clever stray.

    Destiny is a path, assembled with this feeble frame
    Checkmate to a board thats set, its pieces game
    Parellel flames, life to death its all the same
    A road to the path from which this came.

    Life is a path, followed by those who have it drawn
    Aged in "frames" stories told by time foregone
    A distant path, a pawn one step at a time apon...
    A beaten path where many gone..

    Death is a path, always forward and never behind
    Escaping time, realization finds a new state of mind
    Walking blind mankind entwined in this wind
    The path where all that is and all that was combine...

    The spacious woman sings her song..
    In fates plan we are beaten,
    In a path we all walk apon.

    The Beaten Path.

    The Beaten Path


    Traveling to unknown roads two roads leading nowhere
    the scenery too empty i decide to go elsewhere
    Seeking an unused route used to weathering wraths
    the use of heavens compass is used amist the devils path
    Walking passed ancient ruins my past crumbling to dust
    passed the horizons edge the sun covered in past rust
    Moving onward boldly onto hills valleys and peaks
    ontop of distant mountains i hear the wilderness speak
    Listening in reverence to the loud ominous voice
    saying the choice was chosen for me to choose my own choice
    Retraking to the two roads opposite destinies torn apart
    one still remains closed on the other one i depart
    Finding many twists and turns treacherous and decieving
    turned left to avoid whats right left behind wrong, im leaving
    Wandering aimlessly around, lost in need of new direction
    realizing the great sacred grace given in resurrection
    Journeying more towards solice the path narrow yet straight
    the lamplight leading me home i've found my soul's estate.

    Ok since crew can vote I will explain who won and why....detailed.....

    First I will assess Sidious:

    I wasn't real crazy with the structure on this. Rhyming the same type of word 4 times but I still read it. The life is a path, death is a path was new, something I really never seen so that caught my eye and it was a good idea.

    Normally you don't have to use great vocab if your story is sound, but I think not using as much sort of hurt this one. I mean, there was vocab but maybe not as much or not where it should have been.

    LOL, I don't mean to sound like I am bashing this, this is just what i have seen. Ok, the idea for this, 'beaten path', was good. You definetly took it and ran with it. This was very creative but it just came up short at the finish line.

    Creative - 4 of 5
    Vocab - 3 of 5
    Structure - 2 of 5 (I didn't care for it)
    Flow - 3 of 5
    Overall Talent - 3 of 5

    Now for Mindless:

    This was a basic structure, so it flowed a little better....

    "Seeking an unused route used to weathering wraths
    the use of heavens compass is used amist the devils path"

    ^^^
    That was original...the whole part. Great!

    "Moving onward boldly onto hills valleys and peaks
    ontop of distant mountains i hear the wilderness speak"

    ^^^
    Was an OK line, I mean it was good near the end, maybe some more vocab would have spiced it up. But your overall vocab was good. Like I said to Sidious, if your story is sound, too much vocab could actually hurt, so you had the right amount.

    This one was creative, good work coming from you. The flow ran nice with this and I think overall, you hit the nail right on the head.

    Creative - 4 of 5
    Vocab - 4 of 5
    Structure - 3 of 5 (Basic structure)
    Flow - 4 of 5
    Overall Talent - 4 of 5

    So the winner to me is......

    Mindless

    Good work to both of you......keep it up!

    Vote gone. Crew vote. Nevermind. It stays... Sidious agreed to it.

    I thought this was a close one. Very interesting read....

    Sidious: Nice drop. Your imagery was very good. Vocab nice as well. Flow was pretty smooth, structure also nice. I actually liked the rhyme scheme you used in this...don't see it as much as an AABB rhyme scheme and you seemed to make it work....again pretty dope.

    Mindless:Yours was dope as well. To me this was close but I liked the style you used to write this. Flow was unreal. Vocab and imagery was tight. The metaphores were very creative yet clear which made it more interesting to read. It's good to read an uplifting piece like that. So Im going to have to give you my vote- that is if its fair

    All in all, nice topical, very creative on both sides.

    Vote gone. Crew vote.

    heres the way i see it

    Sid:
    Sid came witta nice verse. Definetly stayd on topic wit his verse...flowed nicely...and lyrics were hot...his rhyme scheme was real good...this shit was hot..."Life is a path, followed by those who have it drawn
    Aged in "frames" stories told by time foregone
    A distant path, a pawn one step at a time apon...
    A beaten path where many gone.."
    that shit had me thinkn about shit...

    Mind:
    i liked your verse too...but some of your shit was a little hard to follow...i liked this "Listening in reverence to the loud ominous voice
    saying the choice was chosen for me to choose my own choice" but that was about it....Sid had lines that had me followin every word...


    VOTE=Sidious

    both were real good tho


    CiiiiN
