    Lost

    Lost

    Through words of war I’m waiting for the Lord to speak to me
    We’ve lost sight of him frequently
    Through bad reception and awful frequency
    Our status is static, stagnant increasingly
    The distance between WE and HE
    Brings out the beast in ME
    Not realizing, hypocrisizing kills me and my beliefs
    Lungs allow me to breathe, and make it in the street
    Frigid hearts pump ice through our bodies with every rhythmic beat
    And every week, when everyone is week, perseverance is key
    Of future endeavors is all we ever really speak
    We babble over building towers and never yielding power
    As we devour needs
    Overcome by greed, as our desires peak
    Gaining sight and speed until we fall right off our feet
    So in order to pull ourselves out of the grave,
    We have to scrape our knees
    And even start to bleed,
    Depending on our faith in He
    We’re lost sheep...

    this piece was ok. the flow was pretty decent for the most part. and the structure was also pretty even. the topic was alright and your consistency came pretty thouroughly throughout the piece..theres a little bit you gotta work on though. the vocab grab need some new words b. and the imagery pretty simple descriptions in the lines.

    check out The Realest. gettin slept on.

    The end was cool.. I sorta know what you are trying to put accross, but i'm struggling to put that into words.. It's a feeling. At the beginning i thought you were gonna write about something simplistic. But whatever.. doesn't matter either way. Yeah, this was a good read.. some of the metaphors i couldn't quite figure out and were either too loose or im taking it too literal.. Which usually happens in poetry/open mic ish' anyway. I'd be interested to know your intentions... Keep up man. Pz

    alright...

    Just because you don't understand the wordplay doesnt mean there isn't any. There are multiple allusions in this verse, they just hit way below surface. As for the vocab, sometimes I like to K.I.S.S. my verses.

    Thanks for peeping though

    yea yo pretty nice.. had good poetic qualities and emotions... for an om it could have say a lil more consistancy in the flow, like with those way shorter lines which seemed to cause a pause, ... good rhyming skills fosho

    Well this is really slept on. Biggest asset right away is your internals/multis.
    They aren't used just for the sake of it. The flow was tight and you gave a
    good account of the topic you were writing too. The content was cool
    and the take on it was different from what I've read before. Your piece
    was more a sight into your realtionship with god rather than us as a group.
    It was brought out in you venting. Props and tryout in Po'Ethics.
