Lyrical Assassination

Conviction so precise, I launch missiles of truth
Indestructible rhymes, unbreakable and shatterproof
 
Infiltrating your foundation and breaching your walls
Collapse on your composure cause your conscience to fall
 
I can convert your beliefs, cause philosophical treason
Alter your perception like the changing of seasons
 
Cutting down your preconceptions, my tongues a two edge blade
speak to your peace and send it into a rage.

 Unearthing your terrors; exposing all that you’re fearing
 a psychological apocalypse, prepare,the end is nearing
 
Sending your thoughts into a frenzy with waves of confliction
I can drown you in the depths of my intentions,
 
I boldly walk the lines between chaos and sanity
Annihilate your arrogance and, erase your vanity
 
My thoughts ascend and evaporate into the atmosphere
Cause the universe to cry upon you with blood stained tears

 Blurring your vision, like a blinding light
I can deafen your hearing, and deaden your sight

 Rattling your rational like the clashing of clouds
Awaken your silence and make it scream out loud
 
Contradicting   your theories I cause you certainty to shake
trembing your imagination, like a cerebral earthquake

Violating your intelligence, mental penetration
executing your expressions with lyrical assassination

Chiquita, what an excellent expression on the power of words. Emotional and mental assassination can be far more devastating to someone, but I suspect you meant assassination as in changing someones mind about an issue. This poem captures that power perfectly, love it!

This would do well in our Slam Circuit. We are presently touring. Jump on the bus girl! Flow is tight. I am listening to Old Outkast right now on Rhapsody. Do you listen to any Atlanta hip hop? If you do and you have never listened to Outkast ATliens...do yourself a favor and GET THAT ALBUM NOW! It came out in '96, but is a TRUE CLASSIC for performance art! You have talent. Can you perform? sorry. I just don't see much of this style on the Soup. SO , this is why I ask all the Questions...

Okay, Okay; you destroy all my beliefs, then what? What's to replace them? I don't want to let go until I know. But you write powerfully well.
