An Awakening...

My flesh invaded by jacketed lead core
Living color spills onto a canvas of war
Bits of fragmented me shower the scene
Clean-up men couldnt scourer it clean
Ghetto floors toast with a vampires lust
Frenzied palates thirst as nuts go to bust
Ancestry pours whilst young thoughts ooze
Emptied minds collect in gutters, my muse
Deadly shrapnel within the tissues of kin
Families are torn by the impurities of skin
Conflicts confined deep in a convicts mind
Sentenced to death just one breath at a time
Can you hear the chants of an ancient soul?
Damned entities out on weeping patrols
Tongues of a million slain echo in my ears
No measure of fame will ever tame my fears
The concretes alive, saturated by lives leaked
Beneath the feet of victims past & eyes blinked
Attrition thrives when society pays it no mind
Rewind time to witness crimes no jury can fine
Stitched into the fabric that joins time & space
Is the very thread sewn into the human race
Disgrace the keepers of old like Cortez for gold
& youll drown in the shallow pond of your mold
Breeched by the angry flight of projectiles at night
Despite breath I fight to recite the prayer of last rite
Finally free from the worldly shackles that bind me
My eyes open to a world that no longer blinds me

"My flesh invaded by jacketed lead core

What a way to get a readers attention. These lines pulled me in and kept my attention.
I loved it |
