    Power is skin deep

    Power is skin deep





    Power is skin deep?
    Nah...
    Thru the infected skies I pour venom into the artery of cognition,
    Perfected lies soar in the minds of the unwise to engulf them in submission,
    Projected lights in their eyes disguise the actions of my politicians..
    ..They are just blind sheeps crawling under my cruel reign,
    Because when mankind seeks the truth,i fool them again..
    They are in graves trapped in mundane chains,flies in a worldwide spider web,
    Slaves to binary codes,slaves to lies inside their heads..
    Puppets under systems of control and what I dictate,
    Each one another brick in the wall..They have no escape..
    Even God knows He no longer reigns,
    No longer slaves to fate,power flows in my veins..
    ..
    ..
    Shadows sneak unseen in a basement in a shivering night,
    They speak in whispers about replacement under the shimmering light,
    They plot and incite,they seek a solution,hiding from the visual pollution,
    They cannot fight peaceful,the only solution is revolution..
    So thru ghettos,thru deprived areas infested with crime,the word spread,
    "Let's give war for freedom on July fourth..."
    The scum,trash of society,those molested so many times,heared and said:
    "If freedom is what we live for,freedom is what we'll die for..."
    ..
    ..
    July 4th,White House
    The feet of the system march thru the concrete hell,
    The street glisten with blood and reek with a bleak smell,
    Army firing live ammunition by orders of his politicians,
    But the opposition are too many to be put in arrest,
    Too many to be put to rest,too many to be a simple protest..
    Unable to be stopped they reach their dictator,
    Those once drown in bleach, are going to judge the traitor...
    ..
    ..
    A public trial is soon ended.His condamned to immidiate death.They shoot him 13 times in the chest...With his last words he sais:

    "Oh,I can hear violins weep..
    So foolish of me not to see..Power is skin deep."

    Viva la revolution! A good take on the topic K9, hoping you're gonna snag another victory for the Def. Good vocab and the imagery, maybe a litlte hazy at the start, but it became seriously dope towards the end. The multi's were good for the most part, occaisonally forced but that was few and far between. The kept the story moving at a good pace and brought it to a great conclusion... if only real life was this way, huh? Overall it wasn't your best work but that doesn't mean it wasn't dope.

    Hope this gets a nom.

    Def Poets 'n' shit! Word.

    So many victums the piles got as big as a hill

    This was a very good piece. Flowed very nicely, and had superb imagery near the end. Like Johnny said, it started off slow, but got better as I read further. It was a nice take on the topic too. You approached the topic well, and wrote on a good idea well. The vocab was on point too. It wasn't too over the top, but it wasn't retarded either. Very good piece in all.

    Could you do me a favour and leave some feedback on the open mic in my sig? I'd greatly appreciate it.
    I'm surprised they didn't delete me ages ago...
