Resurrection
One quick snap I'm
cognizant, no
standing in this
place, in pitch black
dark I lay can't see
my hand before my
face,
my wingspan's non
existent, cushioned
wood up by my
head, the sayers
nay have fine'lly
gone and buried me
for dead.
They should've
checked my pulse
before they shut the
coffin top, attempts
to leave me like
they do these
young'ns off the
block,
but haters are so
sloppy otherwise
they'd know for
sure, my heart is
truly still before the
final coup de jour.
I don't know how
much time has
passed since I was
buried deep, the
casket lid is weak, I
feel the dirt and
moisture seep,
through cracks
unseen, it's
blasphemy to think
that I'd succumb, I'll
resurrect my being
cause I'm nume'ro
dos to none.
I use my knees to
break apart the lid
atop my cage, the
soft'ning soil
drizzles down onto
my suit clad frame,
I claw my way
through earth
ignoring parts that
scream with pain,
my right hand
breaks the plain to
feel the rush of
streaming rain.
The nighttime air is
filled with all the
power of my core,
they left me dead
and buried so I'll
give them all what
for,
and resurrect
myself to fit the
image of the gods,
a total
metamorphasis in
spirit, mind and bod.
My words will wrap
around you
anaconda, squeeze
you tight, enough to
make your ribcage
splinter til you bleed
inside,
don't hide behind
requests for mercy,
it was meant to be,
which may
convincingly convert
my friends to
enemies.
Committed sins I
will atone to climb
life's hill alone, with
skills from off the
dome I turn my foes
to skinless bones,
a mind as warped
as mine will kill em
all and steal the
throne, decapitate
the king and have
his cabbage sealed
in stone.
I sit now on my
grave with fractured
personalities, which
comes from me
ascending through
the world of R.I.P.,
I then begin to
scream out to the
thunderstorm I see,
like Al Pacino on
the steps, the end,
GodFather 3,
and though I love to
joke, wait til they
get a load of me!
