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

Awesome! Without trying to offend, do I hear an ode to Donald Trump?

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!
