    The Parables Of Man

    To begin...


    THE PARABLES OF MAN


    I sit upon the mountain top and overlook the city
    There's an ocean of stars and below they seem so busy
    Such commotion it's a pity how they choose to use their time
    They're so focused on the pennies that they don't pursue the dimes
    Although, each token is as worthless when compared to what is true
    Like the feeling that's produced when the summer skies are blue
    ... Or chasing butterflies in June with your cousins at the zoo ...
    ... Until you come of age and you understand the truth ...
    ... Then you start to view the cage as in•hu•mane and cruel ...
    ... See life is but a school for the student and the muse ...
    ... An institute of elevation thanks to Buddha & Hey Zeus ...
    While Cupid and Anubis stand as symbols of emotion
    Such as love and devotion meant to shrivel up psychosis
    Make some sense of the remoteness, bring the picture into focus
    I don't know, if you know this, on the universal totem
    Every spirit has a modem, thus suggesting a connection
    To a neurological .. network so complex it makes up an avatar
    Of which we're subatomic parts to the god we're living in
    Like the cells inside our bodies unaware of who we are
    Yet coexistence is contingent on an adam, who's in charge?
    We are all the evening stars and we came from afar
    The cosmic garden where we blossomed once a particle was sparked!
    You should harvest food for thought it's nutritious for the soul
    And brings solace to the heart! For the soldiers on the march
    That forged their swords to spar with Mars, may you morally object
    To any war that causes harm to the innocent and poor
    Or forces tyranny abroad and for the spiritually absolved
    I pray you all get involved for the sake of Brother Paul
    "What of Satan and The Fallen?", well some angels were enthralled
    By his vanity and awe and gave him aid to break the law
    Thus they made a fatal flaw, but there's danger in each cause
    So you better battle boldly or be mangled in the brawl
    They may hang you from a cross near a manger made of straw
    Tho that only kills the ego if your credo has resolve
    The mosquito and the wasp both share the same goal
    To evolve at any cost! Charles Darwin is at fault!
    Cause 'Survival of the Fittest' is a theory proven false
    We are merely just a moth that is drawn to a flame
    In the memory of Thoth ... feel the chemical redraw
    As I reel you off the sauce: a placebo that you bought
    "I was feeble and exhausted with a fever and a cough!"
    No, a sickness of the mind engineered to keep you caught
    In a web made of lies by the spiders in your thoughts
    That convince you that you're lost in a mental holocaust
    Or the Synagogue of Sodom where the sinners are assaulted
    Near the pillars made of salt! Scared to hear this monologue
    ...... Are the enemies of all and the military men .......
    Who do fiendishly exalt pseudo tutors as their scholars
    Whom may teach them how to conquer tho empires go impoverished
    If they have no code of honor or enlightened holy prophets
    Like the Poet and the Watcher whom may show them how to prosper
    And turn oil into water or dry soil into tropics
    Via spoils of a knowledge that has long been forgotten
    By the royals and the gnostics; back when Moses was a shaman
    To the pharaoh Tutankhamen I was shelling out the dharma
    And dispelling all the dogma that rebelled against the conscience!
    Tho the Devil is a charmer you should kick him in a well
    As you yell "This is Sparta and this 'L' is for your karma!"
    Settin' sail East of Hell without a nail in your armor
    On a presidential pardon from Michelle and Obama
    For the sale of marijuana cos the miracle of ganja should be shareable
    And sponsored by a charity or Pharma, but apparently that's nonsense
    ... No one cares unless they profit off the therapy of Chronic ...
    Ask the chairmen and the doctors or the taxmen in their pockets
    ... Politicians on the dockets, fuckin fascist economics!
    In a colony of dummies no one rations out their money
    All they do is shop and buy so why's it shocking when they die
    Broke and bummy with no tie .. over luxury designs?
    So corrupted by their pride that they can't stomach humble pie
    Pluck the Sun right out the sky, then I plunge it in the ocean
    Let it soak until it's glowless, in the hopes that I can show them
    Golden trophies hold no bonus to a yogi in the lotus
    With a halo over dome .. meditating on a poem
    In a massive super nova where the gases might explode!
    I should close this with an omen or quotations from Jehovah
    But all I got is "Ohmmmm" as I wake you from the coma!
    ~The Watcher's the persona~

    Re: The Parables Of Man

    One of the most amazing and insightful works I've seen... especially from one so slayed they just zoned full power cord in faith like just do it for me getting back strength. Personally, naive was real but not once enlightened I realize I caught every glimpse in split seconds that was all that was needed... and you respect especially in demois... just cause you're dark doesn't mean it's not light and just cause you're eagle doesn't mean you're right. It's a catch 20/20 of balance you see in every court room. Just amazing writing and I understood every word. It's like a running dead stop, catch up, fall back... waiting for that ironic right on time. Cause they can delete a mind... but your soul is everything and knowing who you are and what you stand for. It's the only thing that gave me comfort with affirmation at least I know I fight. Was this in sacred scriptures?

    This is a prime example of a simple rhyme scheme used in a masterful way. It had a catchy little flow to it, kinda gets one nodding along as if there was a beat and that encapsulates what good flow should do, though with some of the more complex rhyme schemes it can be harder to catch.
    Ima keep this short, no nonessential information, this is dope. Good work. Stay up.

    Re: The Parables Of Man

    What up self, sorry it took a bit to get back to you, I had just spent so long writing a feed that was so deserving of this piece and my stupid tabled backed out the page, guess the evolution of tech is as false as Charles Darwin's theory lol memory of thoth lmao. Well even at the start you drew me in with your internal rhymes and top tier imagery the inhumane and cruel line was dope dope..even the message was natural and can show our childish innocence is restricted by its purity of the things not fully understood .man you really help keep this place dope with the quality of content im sure to get, always a real metaphoric yet poetic dialog that scratches the surface of some deep subjects like religion and philosophy. Im all about it and I loved the cosmic garden big bang metaphor and I wooooo'd at that poet and the watcher oil into water dry soil into tropics line. At times I was picturing this ancient Egyptian warrior in today's cool interpretation with the Moses was a shaman for tutenkhamen. The ending was dope to leading it to the ganja and finally a yogi meditating his poetry on a stars explosion. Great strings of imagery, once again a great read self!!

    Man. You always write the most complete and insightful shit haha. I love it. Such a natural and fluent flow from beginning to end every time. You never disappoint. Hence why anytime I start a crew or collective you're one of the first guys I PM. This was pretty great my dude. Nothing much I can really say that hasn't been said above me. Definitely Hall of Fame worthy, let's collaborate whenever you're ready bro.
