    The Face of Fear

    My Muse

    An eloquently expressive, elegant vestige of past beauty
    An ineffable message, a vestal prestige beyond scrutiny

    Everything but new to me, a friendly face among strangers
    Always remained true to me, at beck and call like the Rangers

    Precise device, the likes to make the news channels ignite
    Who always scurry to scenes, to catch a glimpse of the new fright

    From local news perusing the minute on a deadly fight
    To CNN, watching the Iraqi sky explode in the night

    High as a kite off the subtle scent of humanity’s relent
    Too ignorant to repent, drama increases with each stint

    I feed from the disease they suffer but never see
    I read their pain between the lines on the covers of magazines

    Every TV special about a tragedy, I revel in lavishly
    Abundance of repugnance to sweetly fill my lungs wit

    My dumb wit…the idiot savants well hung wit
    Masters in their devastation, architects of self demise

    Like vicarious masturbation, my seed covers their eyes
    The spawn of demonic presence, that prescience prescribed

    The clangor and bedlam of weapons and rumors of war
    The gnashing of teeth and the suffering that I adore

    My head adorned with a crown of fear and scorn
    I was present at the death of the Pharaoh’s first born

    I was there when Eve was afraid to tell God the truth
    I was there when the coward gunned down Jay in the booth

    I sailed the skies when Aaliyah rode her last ride
    When Jesus was on the Cross, I stared Him dead in the eyes

    As He was then, He is and will ever be alive, The Christ
    These fools squander the purchase and He paid the price

    Better for I…to satisfy my gluttonous proclivity
    For killing innocence and glutting on suffering quickly

    Disrupting the ignorant, overexpose souls to the globe
    And like film, with too sin much they soon develop holes

    Soon enough the whole loses integrity
    Pieces fall and fold, flailing further on separately

    More precious than gold to me, I scream Gloria!
    I rape their phobia with a maso- sadistic euphoria

    I prey on unanswered prayer and can’t be bothered to care

    Every time these fools feel fear im always there, Hear Ye!

    The Proclamation that I Speak…you can’t ever define ME!

    Search until demise and be denied finding me…cause see…

    The face of fear is not a devil or demon seething with evil

    The real face of fear has always been right here . . .

    *presents a mirror*

    Surprised?! I thought so, you foolish men think but you don’t know…

    Destroying yourselves, with self perpetuated devastation

    A self sustaining creation of many generations of man

    First formed with the primal tribal clans, now advanced

    Our face of fear is the work of our own hands… United we stand

    And united shall we fall, because this view is held by all…

    Until the end when we gnash our teeth and bawl…

    Until we can no longer stand or walk but crawl

    Until our so called utopia pushes faith in a wall

    And the Son of Man returns to force fear’s fall


    We blame our evils and inclinations to sin…
    On some devils and demons when we need to look within…
    As it will be in the end as it was when time did begin…
    The faces of fear are of all the races of men…

    Really nice shit buddy. But why do you keep leaving an empty space between each line? Anyway, that doesn't matter. This was dope. Vocabulary was excellent, and at parts, your imagery was really good. The italicized lines were my favorite. Keep it up, good shit.

    Please hit this up:

    to love something,is to die for it ,if you do, your a martyr , but these days music is morbid, false carters ..prohet's for prophet no lie, look how our last martyr was crucified. to put it in it symplicity, you aint true...you wouldnt sacrifice a few dollars for authenticity..

    You know for such a simplistic and nostalgic incorperation of structure (going old school with it I guess) this is damn good. I guess the complexity of content and well dialed in message mesh well what the structure. Props on that balance, it's something writers tend to over look! I'm sure this was done intentionally, which makes the peice that much better. Great incorperation of popular media within your drop, I like this read, was very good indeed. I think maybe the lower portion of the drop could have been done in another color, but that is just nit picking, and you know you want that from me. Overall I would say based on my familuarity with your writing, I can honestly say this is some of your best. Seems you reverted back to a comfortable style and reaoly let lose. I have seen more intricate works from you, but overall this IMO is one of the better reads. Meter was not an issue, diction was good, message very thought provoking and this can easily be transfered into an audio.

    Good job man...

    yeah...the first part, i just wanted to write without really having to focus on the structure, i just broke it into two line sections like a battle lol...it was a verse for SS and i was writing it an hour or two before the deadline, so i was trying to make it easier for me to write...at first it wasn't planned, but then i saw it, liked it, and ran with it...the two line section was all i had when i sent you that pm...i was missing something...then i went in and wrote the italics section and the simple little conclusion...i was happy with it at that point...and i do ppreciate the nit picking...im picking even further...im not happy with some of my vocab, i stretched the meanings of some words....and my crew is supposed to be endowed with exceptional skills in diction, so i see that as a flaw in my piece...

    and i've been writing everything recently in a way so that i could easily spit it in audio...once i find some nice beats i can use...ill probably record my last three or four pieces....

    anyway, im rambling now....thanks for the reply Bounce...
