Varnished Tech Titans
Tattered totems tarnished
Viral tribal bible spiral
Tainted talismans taunted
Cash cows flaunted
Gerontocracy trumps democracy
Theocracy stumps hypocrisy
Autocracy dumps diplomacy
Haunted schism prism
Vaunted Fat Cats
Enigma?…just
Dogma & Stigma
Tit for Tats
Martian Martial law
Doff your hats
To techno-*wats
And petro-*rats
Deplore or Encore?
Poor Planet in flux
All about the bucks
Ersatz Fat Cats
Well More is More!

GaNg OF SIX GUNS—REASONING OF A Gang Member
"I ain’t got know dad
Just had a sperm donor
Won’t believe in God
Cause He killed my mother
Uncle and brother are both imprisoned
All I got left is my gang fam
Authorities got me on tha run
Six guns
It was darken night
Drove with his posse
Six guns
I have a right to shoot N kill that toddler girl
Cuz mi gang leader dad says so
Six guns
I have a right to rob take wats aint mine cuz
I juz can
Six guns
I have a right to do wrong
This ain’t no plea, nor pun
Don’t get in my way
Or you may get sprayed
I was darken in my spirit and soul
My sins have played the toil
There ain’t NO love
Where is your God mine is"…………..
"SiX GuNs"
so ya better run

Wats humanity
Is it just having pity?
Ignoring n walking away
Rude replies wld never pay
Others problems will never fade
As ur sympathy is of no aid
So before joining two hands to pray
Try helping a needy each day
Extend one hand n say
May I help u in any way
Life and b meaninful than vanity
Cause just mercy is not humanity

to fail part-away, on my left undone oh,
and I did, right to leed me across for you;
all their capsized arguments tray me;
Sister don't hell ! 'cause I can't comply wats real;
But this is not the time, when you say "the clock is
beautiful but can't keep time" your refer to my heart,
don't you ?
Your resignation accepted the speed, your car is
speeding by my shore 's still vening;
Stunts to the grace for and they know: It Might
Be Over Soon.

Hope
Wats dis??
Just a four letter word
Which defines life's only ford
It's proclaims us to stay on
And prohibits us from thought of move on
It's like messiah nd angel of our life
Which makes it good with losing and quitting strife
It's reason of our fortitude
Endeavouring us for aim
The one which had changed our attitude
Encouraged nd embolden us for same
They are like corolla...,protecting
And whenever we collapse recollecting
As one phase of coin
It's dilemma to join
But who comes here is Shakespeare's true valients
Nd those who not
They just lie at the corner of street wishing to have a fair chance to choose
As they weren't having hope of every new noon
Which is like a compass nd three leg stool

Wat I want ???
I wanna a live a life
Where I have nothing to worry
Like a lazy dog
I pass all the time
Thinking wats the hurry
Run well away
From the truths of life
From the truth, Of it
Being a double edged knife
Shed all the pains
All the sorrows
Live my life as if
Feeling thers no tomorrow
Wake up to shinning Sun
Widout any ambition
No goals to reach
No rules to breach
No profits to earn
No lessons to learn
Have a group of friend
Wid whom I just don’t pretend
Knowing they care
I always dare to share
Just wanna live a life
Widout the future's Haunt
Oh Dear God,
From my lfe
This is all I want……

SOMETIMES I WONDER IF , WHAT OUR HEROES IN HISTORY REALLY DID ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY FOUGHT SO HARD TO ABOLISH THAT WORD NIGGA.. NOW EVERY ONE IS BRING BACK IT HAS NOW BECOME POPULAR WORD . SOMETIMES I CALL IT #UNSPOKEN REASON BECAUSE SOMETIMES U SAY THING AND THEN THEY GET OFFEND BUT I AM SPEAKING OUT NOW. SO WHAT I AM SAYING IS TOO UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM WRITING . MY NIGGA ,WATS NIGGGA PEOPLE LISTEN TO WELL AND CLEAR WITH UNDERSTANDING NIGGA IS NOT AN FRIENDLY WORLD IS A DEGRADING WORD . DID OUR ANCESTOR FOUGHT LONG AND HARD BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN OVER NIGHT THEY TO FOUGHT STRONG.
WHAT I DON'T GET IS IF A WHITE PERSON CALL U A NIGGA YOU GET OFFEND SO WHY IS OK FOR ONLY BLACKS TO SAY IT TO ANOTHER ITS SAME DEGRADING WORD AND THERE THE SAME SPELLING AND EVERYTHING. SO THINK TWICE BEFORE U SAY NIGGA OUT LOUD..

Looking at the clouds thinking why am I alive
What's my perpose
Why was I born
The truth is no one knows the real reason
You were born but you don't know why
Some people love life some people. Ask why and some people end there life
Life is what you make it out to be
You can have the best. Life or the worst its up to you make it
People say the reason they have a bad life because there childhood but even if
you had the worst its up to you o change it
What's your perpose?
I have no clue!

let's take a look at the beginning
wen the matters in your heart mattered to u alone
wen like BoB b4 Airplanes u wer unknown
wen the pp u had on speed dial wldn pick up e fone
n u hid the tears that only u knew wer dripping
fast forward to the here n now
to the thunderous applause u hear wen u take a bow
to the microphones that flood u to hear u speak
to how ur opinions r published week after week
who wlda thot that dis was all id take
a lil fame a lil fortune wit only jus ur soul at stake
sometimes wen the champagne wears n its quiet out
those lil flashbulbs tha go on n off its cald doubt
u knw that maybe dis lyf aint so cool
its got u dancn to their whims like okomfo anokye for the golden stool
n honestly hon who u tryna fool
so uv got mags writng down ur salad makn tips
n women lust afta ur collagen fild lips
u knw ur worth more han wat uv become
but u kip lyn to urself tha wats ben dun is dun
but we both know hon..it's only just begun...

They say Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder. ur beauty is a magnificent bright.A strong sight. & yet it gets bolder. Each glance of ur extravagant beauty. I shudder wit an uncalled duty. An uncontrollable effect of prescence & assets,I squirm into the pits,into the depts. I appreciate a beauty as fine as urs,its above the rest,its of an Eagle,it soars. I can't compare thou beauty,with anything less great, a lesser beauty shall not participate. Its damn near unapproachable,but extremely noticeable. A blind woman can see ur beauty.Without eyes,u can't mistake the beauty of the Earth's sunrise. Oh its no surprise,wats in thy eyes,a one of a kind beauty,that never dries. Ur beauty is pure,wit no additives. Rare is ur beauty, its hard 2 find. Its way beyond the surface,its ur heart,its ur mind.

.LIL BOI IN DA HOUSE
MOMMA LAYIN ON DA COUCH
JUS GOT DONE SHOOTIN UP
NOW SHES PASSED OUT
BOI SAYS MOMMY WAKE UP
BUT SHE DOESNT MOVE
HE SHAKES HER N SHAKES HER
BUT SHE HIGH ON DAT JUICE
STILL NO SIGN OF LIFE
LIL BOI STOMACH GROWLS
BUT DERES NUTTIN TO EAT TONITE
LIL BOI WONDERS OFF WHILE MOMMA IS SLEEP
SHE LEFT DA DOOR OPEN
NOW HES OUT IN DA STREET
DOESNT KNO TO LOOK BOTH WAYS
DEN DERES A TRUCK BEEP BEEP
SIRENS ERRYWHERE WHILE MOMMA STILL SLEEP
LADY CRIES OUT
WHERES DA BOIS MOTHA
WHERES DA BOIS FATHA
DADDY PULLS UP N ASKS WATS DA HOLLA
LOOKS DOWN N SEES DA SON DAT WONT BREATHE
HE GETS ON ONE KNEE N YELL
GOD, DONT TAKE HIM PLZ
BUSTS IN DA HOUSE N WAKES DA MOMMA
MOMMA REEKS OF CRACK N GUANGA
HE DRAGS HER OUTSIDE N SHOWS HER DA SON
SHE BREAKS OUT INTO TEARS N ASK WATS GOIN ON
SHE WAS TOO HIGH TO STAY AWAKE
NOW HER SONS LIFE IS AT STAKE
AMBULANCE RUSHES TO DA HOSPITAL
DEY TRY TO REVIVE DA BOI
TIME AFTA TIME
HIS LIFE DEPLOYS
FAMILY IN DA WAITIN ROOM
MOMMA IS DOWN OFF HER HIGH
BUT ITS TOO LATE
HER SONS LIFE JUS HIT FLATLINE
