The Official Poetry Thread

[MASTER PAI MEI]

Alright after reading G's poem I think we need a Poetry thread in the Temple

I'll start off with this



ever see birds fly at night?? birds teethered together.. ever see the sky at night?? words turned to vapor outfield player errors and favors major league movements made with in layers.. distractions tailored a 3 piece suits' the Savior?? compound fractures litter the foundation we cater.. gestating raider relations lattitude and longitude activate the station.. missle launch gravity distorting magnetic bursts never rehearsed.. served up asthetics work horses disperse with blinders a pigeons purring chirp sirens sound crackers and cookies the ensueing visions hurt alligator skin with a velvet plush curse an albino absorbing the worse exposing sun suicide residue and rickety rides diping they dive straight shooter not an aimer but a hooter get the subwoofer lavishly subdue ya.. fuck ya'll laws microsoft computers rule ya'll.. diamond bits centered they drill right through ya.. grab the ruler an measure your line physical space magnified through my eyes spiritual fools are hypnotized ..God is in you open ya eyes or be defined to stand on one side and defend and fight blindly as the 4 corners close in on your mind failed strategy and design a tragedy of your crime..

PEaCE SpOK3N

[Fragmented]

i'll spit this piece for godless freaks, who drops are crocks in altered speech,
i'll rob the street in public feats, insight the beat to bind the weak
define whats deep refine and seeks, inside this steep where failure creaks
remind these beasts inside is bleak, rewind this piece combine with streaks

peace i got bored

Scarred (hood Life)

Thought you were set free, unaware slaves controlled by tha powers that be watchin' me
Dollar signs tha god of society, it imprisons us mentally
eyes see materials as the way out, don't you know fads play out
Sometimes i stay out on tha block, watching the seeds runnin' their mouths
About the money, hoes, and cars their so far from reality
Next month i read about one of them in the obituary
It scars me to think our seeds are becoming extinct
Gone in tha blink of an eye, why? Theyv'e been fed lies
No matter how hard i try some seem impossible to reach
With no fathers to teach them the trials of manhood
They end up down, and out up to no damn good
in the hood it seems to be positive is to be soft
Our babies are lost lookin' for love theyv'e never received
The same tainted theme, so they indulge in pussy, liquior, and weed
A high to overcome the depression, a role model's what they need
Claiming a street they don't own, in out of jail until theyr'e gone
Mothers mourn then move on, i tell em' stay strong
How long will the seeds suffer and nothings being done
To fix this crisis poverty's paradise we stuck in tha slums
Every night justs gets worse, another casket in tha dirt
I work to make ends meet and to provide for my family
and live out the path allah has planned for me

Tight verses everyone.......thx.

[SurreaL]

When it's time for you to go, how would you feel?
Would you kneel down and pray to god?
or would you keep it real, and give the nod.
Paintin' the picture, I emphasis death in the scripture,
My soul is sold, Once secured like a fixture.
But since death is at the doorway, no need to keep him waiting,
open the door, felt a sudden chill, followed by my mind fading.
Dream's past, vision's so real, it distorted my reality,
then shortly followed by the ever dramatic fatality.
Is there a heaven or hell?, I don't really know where i'm going,
without guidance, I'll drift into limbo without even knowing.
Follow me on this journey, through the vision's to come,
I've seen death through my own eye's, and it's yet to even begun.
Seen heaven and hell, everyone has, but no need for praying,
just burn out my candle, and prepare my after life before the decaying.

How can a woman containing en-richened melanin eyes
Become so brainwashed and Europeanized
I’m mesmerized at how much the zombie effect has spread
My people walk these streets, mostly, spiritually dead
I dread talking to my peeps about mind elevation
Because it becomes such a one sided conversation
With no knowledge shared, cause it’s just me schooling
But they ain’t listening so who am I fooling
They think it sounds cool and yeah he reads lots of books
But I’m viewed as thief when only as a child I was a crook
Stealing comic books and candy trying to live the american dream
When in actuality Africa should always be my only theme
We played war as children instead of building a nation
With parents absent, working, we tuned into our tell-lie-vision stations
To replace the love and care, that’s why we blast up our music
To rock us to sleep, without the rhythm I would loose it
But I just vibe and try to assist others to thrive only to get hurt
Living the life that I lead will always require ample work
But I’m willing to die for what I believe and give you my life
So never tell me that what I’m striving for isn’t right
When all I want is the jewels and to shed a bit of light
All I ask is that my Creator assists me to shine like a pipe
Blowing “away” the fog of the lies that have been accepted as the truth
When I pass I pray that people will remember me for loving the youth

peace

all my life I've looked to the skies,
all my life my tears have dried,
all my life I seek what I think is best
all my life I've repeatedly burned my nest,
all my life I've watched these viscious cycles,
all my life I've feared when the night falls,
lived in the slums projects and broken homes,
as I still strive to understand the unknowns,
take my money my shelter food and clothes,
but you'll never understand how family's love forever grows...

General Jottings ~ World Of Havoc

What I see is a world of havoc, lacking the magic,
Thay my mind creates from plastic covering the realness, your actors,
In a fake script where you talk this nonsense that's purely non-relevant,
I'm an artist that's taking steps bigger than those of an elephant,
What I see is your hate-filled looks, but your covering up,
'Cause political correctness has you with news from such and such,
Now your warped, havoc's come, and now we lost all the magic,
Your actors in a cinema-scope screen, purely fabric.

[Born Ruler I]

I rhyme 4 the girl who knows why the Caged Bird sings
but doesn't know Maya Angelou
she only wishes to erase the time
the sand that blew
in her hourglass every second feels like hours pass
she still smells the lingering oder of cigerettes and sour mash
keep your head up, Queen
move wise so you can power past this obstacle
if you have to
find a mob to tackle who attacked you
your physical virtue
don't let him hit you or hurt you
don't let you desert you
stand strong, here's a poem for you to lean on
I have a shoulder that can help hold the boulder of depression
despair can teach a lesson of repair
and while you learn this lesson, Queen, I'll always be there
and be aware
there are more who have survived, lived and prospered
NIGGA! If she don't want your offer, GET UP OFF HER!
plus, I heard in prison a rapist's ass is softer
enough about you
my thoughts are of her

Nice Additions Spoken, Born, and G

Lets keep going...

I go thru life with head held high,
sometimes I fall like the rain from the sky,
cumulus clouds form and add weight to the blue,
I sometimes become unglued by my moves,
I'm spontaneous and artistic a very volitle mix,
I can create images that can cause eyes to transfix,
but I can Also do things that can make people pissed,
because I'm unpredictable my heart is on my sleeve,
I can cry.. I can beat... I can Love.. I can Defeat,
I can Build... I can Destroy... but I'd rather just be me,
an Optimistic person that wants to set society free....

[MASTER PAI MEI]

add on!!

[MASTER PAI MEI]

during tragic events we gather and vent,
why do we see eachother when someone is spent,
why do we cry in rage and sob in pain?
why is it my heart beats to the falling rain?
when grey storm clouds cover the skies,
rumbling thunder sounds and lightening arise,
as fires ignite from the strikes,
the creatures run for their life,
as the fire dies new growth comes alive,
death feeds life these cycles collide...
