Birds of feather flock together
Lizards of a scale laze in warm weather
Lions in a pride work to survive
So why do humans bootstrap and homestead?
How do we live in a society we all dread
Success and prosperity requires harmony
Hand in hand and trust to build a community
#poem #poeticshard
I etched a rune upon a stone
I burned a curse into these bones
For every step they take each day
Their bones grows heavy
Their joints get weary
A ton of bricks is how they weight
Until their very dying breath
It will not quit or relent
The curse of time
Til all is spent
#poem #poeticshard
Best behave cause
The least depraved
Bow their heads first
And aim their blades
At your heart
To accentuate
Your hate with vessels
Ripped open
Sunk into the bottom
Tide washes the bones away
Iron in my blood mix with charcoal coated with clay
Steel sharpened, polished tamahagane
#poeticshard #poem
Symphonic
Sounds of panic
Sins palette
Since twilight
Painting a storyline with rhymes
Dreading anxiety each line
Lay out my sins from my closet
Payout by suffering when I vomit
Words and wisdom, Stories and lies
Blurt and erupt, Philosophize
#poem #poeticshard #rhymepractice
Breathe.
In the nose
Out the mouth.
In the nose
Hold it in, let it out.
In the nose fresh air
Out the mouth
Thoughts of despair
In the nose
Feel it in your chest
Out the mouth
Count the things that’s been blessed
In the nose
Reset
Out the mouth
Each breath

Higher and higher
These liars conspire
To light a bonfire
And melt our morale
Burn up like tires
Smoke in eyes
Fingers pricked by a briar
Felt it through braille
Blind leading the blind
Follow the smell of decay
Try and survive the gunfire
Duck below the spray
#poem #poeticshard
Filibuster
Ya feel I'll bust ya face open
Violence erupting through
Apathy turns to a volcano
When now the oppression is facing you
We warned you months and years ago
Fascism is here dont ignore it dude
March and yell, Be loud be bold
Just be aware revolution is a simmering stew
#poem #poeticshard
Failure is a road traveled often
The reaper smiles harvesting souls with a handgun
At a loss with no support
Depression grows roots and takes hold
Every word written on its leaves
Garden of self-defeating trees
Watered by social media feeds
#poem #poeticshard
I portion off a portion of my heart
The proportion is most important by far
My love for you I measure in miles
Each day we add cause it’s a marathon
The road is full of pressure and toil
We pace ourselves so we can carry on
#poem #poeticshard
Possess the dopeness
Propose an opus
Ride on this beat
Compose a hopeless
Lyrically dense total mess
In all directions i gotta mention
My mind ain’t right i need an intervention
What i produce is a proposal for reality
Ideal mentally musical cacophony
#poem #poeticshard
Broken beehives colony collapsed
Smoke in tree fires callin me to stop
Signal through miles tellin us the facts
When the bees die agriculture is off track
Ecosystem its dire now we need to act
Climate change? pesticides? Whats causing this attack

Totalitarians and the supporting bastards
Override the masses
Xenophobes grow grassroots with fertilizer tablets
It’s obvious because it’s repeated and in historical classes
Check the books and you’ll see we’re cooked, glazed with molasses
#TOXIC #poem #poeticshard #acronympoem
Besides yourself
Who’s side will help
Out at times of wealth
Or when famine strikes like stealth
Snakebites quietly leave poison
Mistakes often hold you imprisoned
Your thoughts become the reason
Feedback of esteem destruction by demons
Inside your mind
A battle across all of time
#poem #poeticshard
Struggle wings flight in the breeze of the morning
Feathers catch the coriolis
Success or death, Nature is unforgiving
Liftoff feels like heaviness
Time to prove beyond a fledging
Through cerulean heavens
Summer will decide if they will it to next spring
#poem #poeticshard
Spare me scarcity
Of those false piety
I mock your lies with incredulity
Pretend your hospitality
Hosts victims of calamity
Drunk on the attention
You have to mention
All thats done for ascension
Others fail but I have the #clarity
No actual holiness in your clergy
#poem #poeticshard #vss365
Piercing light like a path
Through the wilderness
Blaze a trail with uncovered wrath
Stand against injustice
Fight the oppressive bas-
Tards cosplaying as the betterment
Of society’s ill begat
Begin to heal the wounded scab
People acknowledge their part in this failed experiment
#poem #poeticshard
In ten years
Like tendrils
It drills into your mental
See dark fears
With pencils
Write on to your stencil
Your outline
You’ll outshine
Don’t color in the border
It wastes time
Count each rhyme
Every second you get stronger
#poem #poeticshard
Suddenly surrounding me
Like ninjas assassinating spree
Velocities of mediocrity mimicking majesty
Dead pan comedy
The fuck is this? Honestly?
We used to be great
Today we propagate hate
We used to march for equality of our fellow man
Now without due process we deport and ban
#poem #poeticshard
Who cares who you are?
Speak through your paint, music, movements, bars
You are the soul of the universe incarnate
All your atoms as old as galaxies indefinite
Leave your doubts residual
Create and share, and be aware
Your influence are echoes of the spiritual
#poem #poeticshard #rhymepractice
Begin the pace
Snails in a race
Face a tough phase
Tales they erase
Struggle each day
Fails they convey
Hide through smiles on their face
Laced a sorrowful trace
Tears they escape
Awake now time to blaze
Addiction their only stay
A way to leave the harsh stasis
#poem #poeticshard #rhymepractice
Immaculate conceptions
Gods of lies trust your eyes
You fall for their deceptions
The road to hell signs are good intentions
Next exit dont fret it
It’s a train ride with all concessions
For the children their motto
For your safety they holla
Costs your freedom
Costs your wisdom
#poem #poeticshard
Rise up, claw from the ether
Return from the dead the lich king on easter
Jesus tap dancing christ what a theater
A show of lies, denounce your tribe
Confound the non-believers
If god was real he'd be weeping for us
If god was real we'd have hung him in a forest
#poem #poeticshard
Synonymous to
Posthumously accrue
Clout about the shit that you do
Rather did, you gone and buried and its all myth
People pretend you better than you were
Skip all the crap that you presented
Rose tinted, lenses theyre wearin
Look at the good times
Not domestic violence crimes
#poem #poeticshard
Immolation
Lost sensations
Burned my fingertips committing arson
Your word is gaslighting
My word is firefighting
Douse you in reality so now you drowning
Facts matter
Lies scatter
Your feelings control you because of the latter
#rhymepractice #poem #poeticshard
I’m X games
Slick tricks
Got sick moves
Wheels up
Get ya fixed
Keep cool
Flip eM ollies
50-50 mixed
Might get high or get killed
#poem #poeticshard
Eventually
That’s what they said to me
In a dark hole my soul resides
Ask questions can I go outside?
Release this energy
Built up an echoing cacophony
Madness sadness rage and pride
Dont cross me I won’t let this slide
Im done with the fake phonies
My soul ready to burn brightly
#poem #poeticshard
Poor men lined up outside a clinic
Rain splatter on bus stop advertisements
Mumble words no medication can cure it
Pain scattered up and down bodies broken full of resentment
Beards long grown no trim has seen them
“Niggas can’t afford a haircut” he said in the moment
#poem #poeticshard
Fulfill your oaths
Less throats get ripped
Sliced by the tip of a blade
Cut divisiveness and unite the enemies
Besides foolish pools
Vomit bull and lies
Every word categorized and drafted
Into a memo signed
The people speak
Enough falsities
Protests are compromise
#poem #poeticshard
I took a break
To heal a break
Almost 2 years gone
Couldn’t move my arm
Hair grew long
Used to be strong
Lost flexibility
Lost my jab synergy
Got some of it slowly
Form came back eventually
Looking back distinct
Went by so quick
Lost years of work
But coming back was worth it
#poem #poeticshard
