Repeat the Beat

Observation 
Of the situation 
Requires contemplation 
Of the devastation 
Throughout the nation 

It’s a sad realization 
At our fascination 
With mass retaliation 
To satisfy the need for  
Instant gratification 
Of your mental castration

In histories evaluation 
of your predication 
to take a mental vacation 
and force the eternal sedation
of those innocent to your revelation
that you are beyond condemnation 
and your act was an abomination
drenched in trepidation
and beyond imagination

It is with genuine fascination 
That I offer this validation 
Of your dedication
To your insane fornication 
Of this nation 
I pray for Salvation 

Eric (and sometimes not)

Well dang Eric. A mind-blowing flow! The msg even better. My apologies I had not realized you had to returned; I had deleted my acct and left for a while myself. It's nice to see you back.
