Confrontation

Here you stand accused of intimidation, degradation and defamation
Daily depreciation, mental extirpation exploitation and pontification
Demoralization, cutting down people short of castration or amputation
Being a ruthless purveyor of humiliation, frustration and devastation

We gave you undivided attention, dedication, devotion and ovation
What more did you want from us, a coronation? You’re an abomination
What possible justification for abuse equivalent to molestation
Is it any wonder out in the world, there’s daily confrontation and assassination

You left us nothing more than palpitation, indignation and now vociferation
Rightfully demanding an investigation resulting in sensitization, a little edification
We have ambitions of a civilization where thrives admiration and appreciation
A combination of inspiration, aspiration, dedication and compensation


Submitted on March 7, 2018 for contest RHYME BATTLE X: SHOWDOWN sponsored by JULI-MICHELLE  -  RANKED 1ST

Hmmm, wonder who THIS could be talking about? haha. Line, you did a great job. This seems like it would also work in the rap contest . There are two such types of contests right now. I am no good at this kind of thing. I hope maybe I can at least try one of them before they close!

Thanks for your visit and for leaving a comment, Andrea. I had to dig deep for this one - stir up stuff better left buried.
