Battle of the Two Giants

High noon announced the duel of the giants Poetry and Hip Hop gunslinging the date was set One accused the other of raping the verbal world As poetry sighted the words of Poe, hip hop did hurl "Cant you rock these lame %$# words in slow That dumb %&# Raven needs to be defeathered bro" Poetry stood back and shook his hands down low Reaching for his quilt using hip hop as ink he wrote "The sound of silence is gold when you release your soul, I need to feel the heartbeat of man so go!" Hip hop now breakdancing on the floor Laughed at this poor attempt to show poetrys gold "You call that soul? I see it as a blind man, Using fancy words to hide your fears so grand" As poetry began to write another line 12:00 o clock came up as the sun did shine Both stood back to back drawing their weapons As the countdown to the duel approached like a new son 3 steps forward both rhymers turned about face Two bangs later the smoke cleared both were embraced The two giants knelt to ground their hearts did bleed This time not of words but of blood so clean At the same time both died as they killed each other Why not write about how we are killing one another Black vs White, hip hop vs poetry Same old siht but this time its affecting me
