The Edges of Rhyme

The Edges of Rhyme 

I wrote the playbook, watching what they took 
While the earth shook I could not look 
In the direction of the Big Book 
Like a fish caught on a nasty hook 

Ruminating , contemplating, configurating, 
instigating my own insinuating perspective 
while your betraying the detective , let’s get reflective 

It’s all defective until you rectify it 
There’s no incentive unless you sanctify it 
You want to try it , don’t deny it 
I can tell you that you want to buy it 

But I’m not selling , simply just telling it 
Gonna end up yelling it from a multi story building while they’re filming 
Constantly killing. 
Poetry spilling from my rhyme, while I’m just killing time 

Syncopating rhythm with rhyme 
While Charlie Chaplins starting his mime 
While I refine and I redefine the sign 
Then imitate my own version of time 

But I’ll decline to make a comment 
While I cement my intent to relent and invent 
The next unconventional perspective Its a consensual percentage 
Of a singular collective straight from my own directive , 
this dam eclectic collective 

Prestige , intrigued by the reprieve in the recollection of my expression of the 
Experience of rhyme 

So while I redifine your comprehension 
Put me back on home detention 
My inventions draw attention 
Defy traditional convention , 

Im running late for the ascension
I’m simply breaking down the tension 
From opinionated condescension 
And dated out of touch retention 

While you collect my true confession 
I’ll book you for another session 
Conatin my last past life regression 
While you expand upon your concession 

If the lesson is worth learning 
Then I guarantee you I’ll be working 
On converting the equation 
I’ll be confined in the space station 
Watching the contagious integration of the humans 

From the inflations and collusions 
As the intrusions of the capatalist delusion 
Keeps protruding from the fusion of a human with integrity and humility 

I’ll tap this rhyme for free 
If only you could truly see 
That what you are and what you want to be 
Doesn’t always have to align perfectly 

But it’s this symphony of antiquity 
That just keeps calling me back to dream 
A mouth that just wants to scream 
Things aren’t always what they seem 

So I won’t detract from the fact that my minds 100 percent in unbreaksbke tact 
And I won’t retract my ing statements 
My heads already hit the pavement of lament 
Content with placements to vent this relentless intent 

Toward creating the cause, 
The horsemen come in fours, 
Let’s try to avoid the next world war 
As we rediscover what it’s all for 

Washed up on distant shores 
But it’s what’s at the core of it all 
Predict the thought before the fall 
I’m standing proud and walking tall 
Answering my soul as it makes the call 

Nat King Cole Lauren Bacall, 
Another Brick in the god damn wall, 
Lucifer before the fall 
A man just giving it his all 

I’ll stall for a while as I reinvent the notion of style , 
Run the gauntlet , walked the miracle mile 
Found Moses in the River Nile 

Going to wait around here and rest just for a little while 
As I take what’s left of my resolve
And use it to ing solve hallf of the re-elected whole , 
Still holding Notions of the old devotions, 

So don’t confuse it or refuse it or use it For a two bit show on death constant row 
My melancholy gets me low 
But if there’s no pain you don’t grow , 

So go before I throw you overboard , 
I won’t fall on my sword just to appease you, 
Won’t stand back or down just to please you 
Because I can see straight through the fake reviews and blue suede shoes that only fit a few , 
I’ll take my cue from a view that is looking directly at you 

So if you want to sue , I’ll litigate you TIL I’m blue in the face, all of this human disgrace 
got to face the kid holding the can of mace , 
praying to God for glorious grace , 

I know my place, back in the human race 
But only on my own terms and taste 
So make haste and face the wasted space 
That brings about your own disgrace And take nothing from the final trace elements of this embellishment 

Then infiltrate a new state , 
Don’t play with all that poison and hate 
Unless you’ve got what it takes To make the right mistakes 

And hold your own long enough to infiltrate the golden gates 
Of wisdom at your fingertips 
start whistling while you get down to Sit 
Among the facing of the opposite 

Hold my breathe til I get to the bottom of the ocean 
My soul enlivens with devotion 
As I reside in my emotions 
And try to avoid all this commotion 

You are the entry point for your own destination
