    The Tragedy of Mathais Rust

    The Tragedy of Mathais Rust:
    The Rusted Gates of Heaven


    Mathias Rust (born 1968) is a German pilot who, in 1987, at the age of 19, flew from Uetersen to Iceland and then via Norway and Finland to Moscow, eluding the Soviet air defences and landing on Vasilevski Spusk next to the Red Square near the Kremlin in the heart of the capital of the former USSR.

    Operation: Heaven was to be initiated a quarter to seven
    Bending metal with the tips of his mind redden
    And drip into his cheeks framed in the air frosted
    Windows... Lofted, as the mountain tops bled
    And diffused into the view of the sky
    The radio was speechless by the sight,
    When it finally blared alive with air traffic cries
    Slight omen's spoken through the initial static
    "Brother, have a pragmatic eye for the fanatic
    Skys" He lets his glasses, slip off his nose bridge
    Rest on his neck's fur collar. "Whether you live
    Or Die is not our concern- heaven is where you'll burn
    If your sighted, self implode, and may your ashes never return"

    He thought to himself....

    They called it Operation Heaven, a last chance for our brethren
    Neuron's deaden, as I almost see god pending
    A pendulm's swing graced with an axe's touch
    And etched in dust is my name, Matthais Rust

    In a grey inpalapable room, fashioned in a tomb's
    Memory, the captain dark face etched in the colors of doom
    Red, yellow, black and blue, a neck adorned with noose
    A grey suit camouflaged with background "Excuse
    me private... What have we now... It's ashame
    We must resort to backwater tactics lain
    By this countries distressed inferno-esque history.
    Forget that... Do you know of Eden?"

    "Yes sir, It's beaty has no match, no even"

    "Eden had it's scandal, ripening fruits of lies
    There is an even higher, greater Paradise
    Thats why, this is project Heavem, Rust
    Through the clouds of ashes raining dust

    "Your mission is simple reconaissance
    You act for god, now send half those bastards to heaven
    Those that oppose a Germany joining its own hands
    As the east and west scuh on one breast of the mother land"

    These words dissapear, as does the Red Square
    As I followed the stairs to a rope levitating above a chair
    Empty of air, the gavel echoes through the stone
    Come to an abrupt end, like cracked bone


    Rust bitten hinges never swing open
    Matthais lied there with ever bone broken
    Melted cartilage spilled over and painted clouds white
    With his glasses cracked, rose-colored with his blood
    Dismantled wings smoulder over him like a kite
    To bury him heaven, when because his grave was never dug

    This was very vivid man. Only thing I could have used alittle more of was a better description of Mathias, becaue your little intro gave somewhat of a clue but didn't give state or even allude to the importance of what he was doing. The pieces structure was nice, chopped up tiny verses which is cool... Poetic, which of course I always love. The flow was weird, sometimes it was on point and sometimes it was off, same with the wording. There were a few lines I felt read alittle awkwardly. My favorite part about this piece though, was the tone. Throughout the piece you created this mysterious kind of, secretive vibe that surprisinly never came off as cheesy or too 007. Overall, was a nice read, I'd like to see the flow and some subtle wording changes touched up because everything else was immaculant. Nice job man.

    Story-line was alright, didn't really interest me but it was well written with great imagery. The emotion was there, but nothing special on that part. Vocab was complex and fit the rhymescheme but this wasn't an easy read for me, i read it like 3 times to understand it and my reading comprehension is known to be good. More multies and internals would have made this so much better. Overall nice shit, keep it up and work on multies and internals.

    I thought it had a good story line as well. It is indeed a very vivid piece of work.

    Myself is right though. If this was to be rapped it seems like some of the lines would be off and wouldn't sound quite right.

    Not much else I can really add. It's pretty good.

    I think I could do that by also adding one or two more stanzas inbetween. So yeah I should call this incomplete. Ill remember to touch it up. Thanks people
