    Swords and the Soul-Less (Def Poets)

    Swords and The Soul-less
    .
    .

    Issue
    The darkness is heartless, the stars are scarless.
    The martyrs are marching and the archers are flawless.
    The fortress is impregnable, birthing hoards of aborted corpses.
    Indefendable, lawless. Swords and the soul-less.
    Infinitely endable. Pure and lone bonus, whorage at its coldest.
    Loners looking into mirrors of zones of eternal loneliness.
    A poetic omen, a pathetic show of old roams around generic bones.
    A home for the stones and the crows and the souls.
    A tome of a throne at a table of death,
    Where demons moan and disown there own semen and flesh.
    A land of brutality at its best, a zest for vanity,
    A test of sanity. A quest for manly apathy,
    A mesh of angry battered fantasies and sad souls dying happily...
    .

    ...Standing alone in this field of madness while violence snaps at me
    And life deteriorates rapidly, in the face of its conquest
    And soul becomes polluted until its value is none, less!
    And what’s next? Isolation, reduction of reproduction
    Liposuction for the cranium and hollow productions
    Flashing images to hypnotise, hold the masses in thrall
    An electronic vampire leeching the passive and mauls
    Innocence lost in a labyrinth of vicious Minotaurs
    Baying for gore and amputation of its spinal cord
    These are the swords wielded by the soulless, the weapons of society’s
    Undercover Agent’s, sometimes flagrant with their anarchy
    These metaphors carry truth hidden within their knowledge cores
    And now they pour into the open when spoken from Poet’s jaws...

    ...Ravished by a fleeting romanticism lies chivalry’s corpse
    Abandoned by the stork as another uses his sword for sport
    Gentrification of a foreign nation led to blank inhabitancy
    Peer pressure stressed her, so she hid the sun from her seed
    Loose tee’s and baggy jeans were not a fashion statement
    The benevolent menaces made murder drastically flagrant
    Hate it when sacred bonds burn like southern synagogues
    Deteriorating instead of fabricating power in the hands of god
    Incinerated morals leave ash as the only grey matter around
    As flatter bound men astound for only one night going down
    Penetration becomes perpetration because men aint staying
    Just slaying futures relaying another baton of burden, playing
    Stabbing swords slice through wombs to create souless zombies.

    Turned out nice again, looks like the Def Poets have got a future on RB, probably in the Hall of Fame (i hope). Good work guys, we stayed on topic, kept the vocab sharp and threw in some dope multis and imagery to boot.

    This is half a review, half an up.

    Def Poets= wordness.

    This was one of the best collabs ive seen in a minute. You could really see the passion in this because of the imagery and flow. All the verses stood out because of the vocab and rhyme schemes. Good job on this.

    Really nice job from everyone. The topic was original and complex. All three verses had great imagry and good solid vocab. The rhyme schemes for all three were unique and they all complimented the flow of the piece making it easier to read. Sometimes people get too complex and the piece gets boring and anoying to read, but you guys used the right amount of complexity to make it all come together really well. All in all good drop keep up the good shit.

    yo out of all ur pieces ive read, i think this 1 had the best flow... rhymes wuz good as usual but the flow was wut stood out in this piece... good structure, ur bars was all tha same size and that was good 2 c... top notch performance by u i thought... keep it up

    Johnny
    ur rhymes were a lil weaker than issue, u didn't hav as many multis as he did, although it was still very well done, i liked the message behind yours tha most...ur structure was good and ur flow was aight... vocab was probably the strongest part of ur piece... good work!

    djb
    urs was the most interesting of the verses... the flow was good, the structure was awesome.. all ur bars were almost exactly the same size... the vocab was amazing... very well put together verse all in all... ur rhymes were ok, there was the odd weak 1 but most of it was awesome

    i personally think u all are the most talented on rb... issue had tha best verse in this 1 in my opinion but they were all dope... keep it up all of u and i think every member on rb should look up 2 u
