just a thought phlogging once again

in a coffee shop and this came to mind so here it is
we rush through youth
wishing to be older
only to get there and
wish to be younger.....

happens...

family seen regularly
now unseen irregularly
life happens...

education starts education ends
educational "friends" never seen again
life happens...

work starts new acquaintances become new friends
new network a few trends
life happens...

see colleagues more than family now who's real family
trust abused politics lies truth feuds
life happens...

marriage husband/wifehood children parenthood
priorities vary, situations rearrange immense change
life happens...

children grow parents get old we age
generations pass real slow real fast take one last look as we past
life happens...

untitled

been doing this before
common fell outta love with her
witnessed this games metamorphosis
like a butterfly from the chrysalis
bring pugilistic linguistics
scientific poetics
rappers flow is basic
this game dumbed down
like the education system 
and i'm in mourning
hip-hop's apocalyptic state
is catastrophic
claiming their esoteric
but they're dropping lots of bullshit
they're fake like the 
emancipation proclamation
and i'm the tax-man

realising i need something good
like maverick sabre
not reeferring to herbs 
wrapped in paper
i dehpon capers
tek mi for a simpleton
i play dumb to catchwise
tek lives wit ill lines
inside my bar rhymes
speak to your sublime
with remarkable time
peeps await my bars like payday
skills forged under pressure
force my bars to be diamonds

i am...

a demagogue
raising up the riotous masses
inspire in flashes
a vicious force 
like anakin and the emperor
luke and yoda
always connect like voda
advanced lyricism
bring ya criticism
positive or negative
with or without ism schism
i make it pure
like light through prism

it

periodically it sweeps over me 
sometimes a calm tide
othertimes a swarm like locusts
alone in this
darkness is my warmth
it comes in floods and stays
in stints minutes, hours, days
smile and joke through it
damn being too candid

the wandering

young and dumb, when i
was enticed to a
fruitful wilderness
a phantasmagorical oasis
where i went
i could not tell
parts of the journey
i could not spell

i met many
they spoke and dressed like me
seductive words dipped in poison
unbeknown to us

i was unschooled in this form
of skullduggery
the Word? familiarly unfamiliar
to me

i went in
wholeheartedly, forsook
friends and family
i was taken...

don't regret many
but these actions 
i regret regrettably

caught in a web
of deception from my inception
born again?
the travesty of a false reality

imprisoned by the ghostspell
bewitching false messiah
serving man not the Man

followed man's opinion
on what's profane and holy

don't regret many
but these actions 
i regret regrettably

yet i journeyed
thought i was a freed slave
but really an enslaved freeman

oh, how it's taught me
this journey
went wandering to find me 
only to finish at the beginning

with me

mightier than...

mightier than...
the sword the pen, come like rapier
words pierce flesh
and cause permanent scars

mightier than...
the sword the pen
ends life and brings death
brings life and ends death

mightier than...
the sword the pen
brings tears, sadness
joy, anger, laughter fear

mightier than...
