    The Fault In Stacking Flat-lines

    Drop seeds on a parched tongue and see
    lips part to kiss parchment. Excitement only
    grows it's own mold. I hold seven stolen
    scrolls bound with rope and smoke the ancient
    text like brimstone. Heaven is all alone now,
    a cold home only known to those who sold
    souls for improper profits. Misfits missed
    the lost tips; tripping over old prophets that
    listed the cost of their options.

    The stars started to construct an arc based on
    instructions from the dark arts. Mark the location
    to embark. No remark came when our sparks
    separated the sacred incarnated name of God;
    charting pentagram hearts. Futuristic isn't it?
    When humanastic fulfillments insist we're just
    dust and ashes. The past is yet to come.
    I've spit blood into the sands of time, breathing
    whirlwinds from my lungs.

    Well, what can we make of mud. The ocean
    spoke as I rubbed shells together, telling me
    the sea smells like revelation. Ripe with weeds,
    cracked rocks and dead reefs reeking of society.
    Feed on your starved sense of passion. This vast
    abyss is dense with inaction. Count the abacus
    backwards so square heads won't roll. We've
    flattened the earth while Atlas consoled the whole
    cosmos to prepare for global geometrical control.

    This verse was typical Mindless., incredible lyrics coupled with and equally impressive rhyme scheme.
    Your pieces tend to have a certain attitude if not ego about themselves as they successfully blur the lines between Hip-Hop and poetry creating what I like to call Hip-Hoperty. LOL. Seriously , this was dope!

    ^GODDAMN!!! Slow down Gandi your kill ‘em. That right there is an example of an absolutely perfect opener. Even if you don’t understand the content, the flow itself is enough to be admired. The way you put your lines together makes it almost impossible to pick apart or quote an individual line. I mean it’s the way the words flow in and out of each other that makes this particular portion so ill, yet, so unified. All I can say is…….Damn!


    Also:

    ^I mean do you plan on stopping this onslaught anytime soon. Seriously, the rest of us would like it if you’d stop a minute to rest your rhyme so that we might catch a breaths. Hmmmm….By the way that last line is, well you know what it is, dopeness!


    Again:
    rubbed shells together, telling me
    the sea smells like revelation. Ripe with weeds,
    cracked rocks and dead reefs reeking of society.
    ^You have a very acute sense of poetic awareness, meaning you know exactly when to seduce your readers with otherwise enticing and cleverly thought provoking lines of illness.

    And of course:
    Count the abacus
    backwards so square heads won't roll.


    ^Poetic awarnes 101: case in point^


    Ill script as always.

    Niiiiiice. No need to lecture you on imagery, multis, internals, metaphor or vocab. You butchered this one. Love it.

    Lol, how can you not fall in love with a Mindless drop? Great job man, as always. I read the poem version of this and I loved it then, I just never got around to feeding it for you. Very creative and abstract metaphors coming together to paint such vivid pictures in the frame of a larger. Not much to say, I can't help but to read and love all the work you do because you never seem to drift away from consistancy. Great job once again man.

    When you get some time fams...

    Futuristic isn't it?

    that was dope, creative abstract metaphors tied into the piece, with the rhyme scheme weaving in and out. not much to say about this piece that hasn't already been said, but excellent job
