MEdia

By MikeShank1989

Souls unkempt, goals dreampt seem to stumble by
Coals of charcoal contempt on tumble dry
Napalm in my heart breathes and barks, sneezing sparks toward my sleeve
Chewing on a chancre sore as it's bleeding cherry grief
Salival glands seeping somber streams of shaken baby serotonin
Measuring progress in the lips of coffee cups the cult culture's grown in
Press on presence paints the picture on the pride precipice
Orthodox odes offend olfactory nodes with prejudice
Toe tappin, no slackin, code crackin, road mappin, a slow rappin soul trappin, close captioned, flow captain
Faith: An open elevator shaft with no limits
Hip-Hop: A genre that gases up gimmicks
Stone retention of cloned mention of know intentions of drone disciples
We moan extensions of hopeful tension to throw a wrench in the archetypal
Crones crown clenching, prone to portention, known to store centuries of homegrown idols
Controlling the demented, alone in ascension, prone to reflection, hopes moaning "Revival..."
Windpipe dwindles to pinstripe, syndicated spindles spinning sucrose through the turbulance and turnpikes
Thin lives, simple in their insight, splashing in the cesspool vestibule between Kardashian and Kronkite
Bearing witness to the song and dance when the records stricken
Convulsions of truth cannot slip into what the telepromptors written
Reports being exported to the receeding hairline of your state rep
To be combed over and brushed til there's nothing but vague left
His pockets lined with greasy bills drawn from your paycheck
Cutting you off at the knees til you don't have a leg left
Penning petitions for a motion of no confidence, praying for a safe bet
Your vote discounted as incompetent versus their vote of confidence to legislate theft
