6 billion and 1 revolutions of Mother Earth around her Sun
Spawn the creation of the chosen one
Exposed for fun, the foul, dark demeanour of his people
Callous, crass, ass, confounding to the sheeple
Evil is simply not strong enough to describe it
Amoral immortal, chortles as the fleas do not realize it
A cacophony of laughs, cries and screams
Ripped the fabric of reality right at its seams
Something wicked this way comes
As 1000 African drums beat the shit out of the foolish dumb-dumbs
So hum-drum and sullen from their lack of stimulation
Stricken by fear, here lies the root of all foul hating
Every nation has its class of social misfits
Untouchables, unless you take a trip on Captain Morgan's ship
So come along as we set sail for greatness
Short-lived, as all souls are doomed to be weightless
All the beasts are burdened by their work here on this ball of dust
All the beasts are burdened by their work here in the deep blue sea
All the beasts are burdened by their need to fill their hunger and lust
All the beasts are burdened by their need to impress you and me
Now follow me, follow me down this path famous for slaughter
Seeking stardome, by fucking idiot daughters
Whose vaginal regions possess such great power
They can reduce even the most arrogant pricks to April showers
But no flowers grow on soil that's fallow
Just as no one toils on the day that is hallow
How can these simpletons still praise a being
Whose being is merely a tool to meant to keep them from seeing
The truth, well, let's not go that far
Because even the stars are not where it seems they are
Interesting how that which shines the light
Is more misleading than the shadows lying deep within the night
Makes you wonder, what exactly are these scenes we see
Dancing on this lense which spans all of infinity
Perhaps we are nothing more than puppets on a stage
For the Eye to judge with its omnipotent gaze
All the beasts are burdened by their work here on this ball of dust
All the beasts are burdened by their work here in the deep blue sea
All the beasts are burdened by their need to fill their hunger and lust
All the beasts are burdened by their need to impress you and me

Good morning world, it's time for the news
Time to scew your views with the powers we abuse
Ooze onto airways with a cavalcade of fiction
A dapper smile and oh, so proper diction
Now, something sad happened someplace
Another runner seems to have dropped dead in the human race
A murder occured sometime, somewhere
But I really don't care (you can't say that on the air)
Er, I mean, it's tragic indeed
A plane crashed, hopes dashed at the bottom of seas
Mother Nature killed thousands in an ill temper
And speaking of which, it's time for the weather
We predict the sun, but don't be surprised by rain
Sleet, snow, cats, dogs, tsunamis, hurricanes
Something crazy is happening in the Phillipines
But we want you to keep watching, tune in again at 3
(Disasters) Hurricanes reaking havoc across the shores
(Disasters) Earthquakes engulfing cities until nothing's more
(Disasters) Volcanoes erupting, scorched the entire bay
But your city will not be remembered like the great Pompeii
(Disasters) Policticians pouring poison in the wells
(Disasters) You don't have to die to witness scenes from Hell
(Disasters) All you have to do is turn on your TV
These are not cartoons, show the viewers their reality
Good afternoon globe, we're the carriers of proof
Troubadors of justice, of freedom and of truth
Well, at least as far as you know tards
(Quit that friggin' jabberin', just stick to the que cards)
Anyway, somebody dropped a bomb on another church
The perpetrators claimed they didn't think the blasted thing would work
Did you know that some places still have beheadings
(Don't really care, just tell me about the king and queen's wedding)
The neighbors claim his murdering spree was a surprise
Said our eye-witnesses, he was a normal man like all you guys
Now he's a madman, dangerous and on the loose
But, hey, look a distraction, the latest celebrity pooch
Isn't cute, so fluffy and cuddly
Makes you forget all about us stealing your money
(This just in) Somebody found the stairway to Heaven
But our time's up, tune in again at eleven
(Disasters) Hurricanes reaking havoc across the shores
(Disasters) Earthquakes engulfing cities until nothing's more
(Disasters) Volcanoes erupting, scorched the entire bay
But your city will not be remembered like the great Pompeii
(Disasters) Policticians pouring poison in the wells
(Disasters) You don't have to die to witness scenes from Hell
(Disasters) All you have to do is turn on your TV
These are not cartoons, show the viewers their reality
Good night planet, time for the facts you've all been waiting for
Every man is safe from that awful, wretched, wicked war
Just be sure you stay safe in your box
Turn on your home security and check all the locks
The government said that it needs a skeleton key
To every home, trust them, they say it's for your own safety
Tracking you through your phone, some say that it's scary
But hey, look at all these apps on the latest blackberry
Cool right, yea, it's pretty dope
Hey look, another terrorist is hanging by the rope
That means there's nothing more to be afraid of right
Wrong, there are always things to fear, otherwise what'd be our entertainment tonight
The world's coming to an end, we're all going to die
Oh yea, that stairway to Heaven thing, it was a lie
If you're watching this you're about as smart as the pot I piss in
(Eh, just let him say what he wants, their still gonna listen)
(Disasters) Hurricanes reaking havoc across the shores
(Disasters) Earthquakes engulfing cities until nothing's more
(Disasters) Volcanoes erupting, scorched the entire bay
But your city will not be remembered like the great Pompeii
(Disasters) Policticians pouring poison in the wells
(Disasters) You don't have to die to witness scenes from Hell
(Disasters) All you have to do is turn on your TV
These are not cartoons, show the viewers their reality

Hold on motherfucker, why you in my jurisdiction
Little miscreant, trying to cause friction
Hmm, you lack proper diction
Have we met before, so familiar is your description
You remind me of the man in this sketch
Dark-skinned bastard, yea we haven't caught him yet
He's responsible for every crime in the book
We keep incarcerating darkies, but we still haven't caught the crook
But don't worry, justice will be served
Now, put your hands behind your head and lay down on the curb
What, you have an alibi, man don't even lie
Spread your cheeks and lift your sack, keep your eyes up to the sky
Checks and balances? What of checks and balances
The way you niggers bounce checks, how d'you even know what balance is
See this badge, there's no way for you to challenge this
Chalk it up as another of life's challenges

Mmm, delicious, blood sweet and viscous
Ain't got no dishes, flesh so nutricious
The best part is the crunch of the bone
Snap, crack the dome, what a wonderful tone
I've been circling for days
Let it marinate in waste as the Sun starts to bake
I hate to wait, but cannot make haste
Or else it won't sate, one must savor the taste
Skin and tendons, organs and sinew
Nails, hair, eyeballs and muscular tissue
Inhale the scent of the veil
But not too long, or maggots are a serious issue
Another succulent feast
Chicken and beef turned to carrion meat
Remnants of a life turned wrong
Now, time to wait until the next one's gone
Welcome Death's arrival, so long another rival
Naturale fatale, so I ain't liable
One more victim of strife
Life; a risky game played with fickle dice
He paid the ultimate price
A little extra time would be nice
Hit the pavement when he hit hard times
Resigned, but now that fresh coat's all mine
In time he'll be forgotten
Somebody, now stiff and rotten
Important, man he's just boring
And his fortune is probably ill-gotten
I could have taken him anyday
Anyway, let's sit and hear what the reverend say
After this, let's grab a bottle of gin
Don't worry about cash, the drinks are on him

Serendipity, it happened inexplicably
It seemed to be that you and me were just simply meant to meet
What circumstance lead to romance, I cannot say for certain
But the son of Venus' glance perceived a chance to put some work in (It seems that destiny has taken a hand)
It was just another ordinary day
The Sun was shining bright upon the children as they run and play
Everything in my world was going fine
Until (Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world she walks into mine)
She was wearing a dress made out of vinyl threads
Each footstep that she took I heard the scratching of the needles head
Her movements were oh so fluent, but broken, like my bleeding heart
Some people cut a rug, but this lady, she tore the floor apart
Her face, a work of art, graphed to perfection
A complexion the likes of which could teach Da Vinci a lesson
And such a voice she had
Her every word a melody that charmed each wicked beast and even made lord Hades sad
It was love at first written, smitten with every curve
Of every vowel and consenant, constantly striking every nerve
Possessed of beauty the likes of which makes most men think
Such thoughts, the likes of which couldn't help but make my pen ink
Our time together was poetry
Got me jonesing like a fiend for that next line, a psalm, etched in my rosary
Hopelessly lost in each element of your nature
My mind, body and soul sing the praises of your creator
But love's not meant to last, when intervenes the twisted queen
She rules the world so ruthlessly, jealously, in her dress of green
So tempting her allure and such promises doth she send my way
That no longer can I recall the beauty of that fated day
And so, my wallet begging me, I'm off to forge my life anew
To make my dreams come true, my love, I must bid you adieu
I move in to take my final kiss
But she pulls away and asks, (But what about us? We'll always have Paris)

This is disjunction junction (what's your malfunction???)
Too much stimulation and mass consumption
(What's the function???) Mass sedation
Like fuck creating, just keep on remaking
Replacing, reanimating, reincantating
The Mona Lisa’s old and needs repainting
Innovator’s, we hate them
Until they die, then their art’s the work of great men
Is this the work of Satan? No yo
Just a bunch of lazy so so’s who don’t know
Guess that’s the way it goes though
Either change with the times, or up and fold joe
Otherwise you in slow-mo and can’t grow
Mad, because wack ass cats is on the stereo
But that’s the way of the globe, oh
Just go with the flow, or suffer damage to your frontal lobe
This is disjunction junction (what's your malfunction???)
16 years of school, but I ain't learn nothing
(How's that function???) Keep them blind
To the Truth, so they can't read between the lines
(Uh, what the fuck is reading???)
Some old-school bullshit that you ain’t needing
Because the internet is teeming
With food for thought, I just don’t know if it’s worth eating
But ignorance is in this season, believe him
You ain’t getting no cheeks just because you read, damn
So go and put that book back on the shelf
Knowledge is incongruent with penile health
Keep it to yourself, and play dumb
If you want those hoes to give you some, son
Because everybody need num-nums
And you ain’t getting no nookie playing dungeons & dragons
This is disjunction junction (what's your malfunction???)
The world's gone mad, begging for destruction
(That don't function...) But hey, what the Hell???
They ain't heard the tales of Ishmael
Suck it up simpletons, these sonnets shouldn’t spark surprise
Soliloquies that symbolize that savageness of social flies
Just socialize (Psyco you scaring them)
Society’s sad, ship’s been sinking since the Sumerians
Now are you hearing them?
The bells, which toll for the entire Imperium
For so many years we was fearing them
But didn’t do a damn thing to keep them from nearing, kin
Oh, you mean the revolts were always alive?
My apologies, I guess they simply weren’t televised
I thought that was just a Facebook ad
A silly trend, a funny joke, a passing whim, another fad

Don't bitch about the shit that got you hurting
Just remember player, somebody's gotta lose the game
Rain falls on all the heads beneath it
If you ain't got an umbrella, sorry kid, that's a shame
Meet Brandon, he is mentally retarded
But he wakes up every morning, just to wash the fucking dishes
Father, please forgive the silly children
Ditched down in the dumps, dumped down in the ditches
So when you think that it's a problem
Recall the old proverb, this too shall pass
Lock down all the bullshit you keep talking
Go and learn the fucking lesson and get out of the class
Teach the children about improving, keep it moving
While you're making up excuses there is something you should do
Don't bitch about the shit that got you hurting
Because my feet are always working man, I got those problems too
Don't bitch about the shit that got you hurting
Just remember player, somebody's gotta lose the game
Rain falls on all the heads beneath it
If you ain't got an umbrella, sorry kid, that's a shame
Meet Lucy, people make her sweat with terror
But she sits and paints the sidewalk, it's the only thing she wishes
Father, please forgive the silly children
Ditched down in the dumps, dumped down in the ditches
So when you think that it's a problem
Recall the old proverb, this too shall pass
Lock down all the bullshit you keep talking
Go and learn the fucking lesson and get out of the class
Teach the children about improving, keep it moving
While you're making up excuses there is something you should do
Don't bitch about the shit that got you hurting
Because my feet are always working man, I got those problems too
Don't bitch about the shit that got you hurting
Just remember player, somebody's gotta lose the game
Rain falls on all the heads beneath it
If you ain't got an umbrella, sorry kid, that's a shame
Meet Aaron, all his bones are very brittle
But he's grinding every morning, coated in casts and stitches
Father, please forgive the silly children
Ditched down in the dumps, dumped down in the ditches
So when you think that it's a problem
Recall the old proverb, this too shall pass
Lock down all the bullshit you keep talking
Go and learn the fucking lesson and get out of the class
Teach the children about improving, keep it moving
While you're making up excuses there is something you should do
Don't bitch about the shit that got you hurting
Because my feet are always working man, I got those problems too

There's no need to introduce myself (why) because you already know the deal
Most malicious machinist, making moves, moving steel
America, the irrefutable king of beasts
Fighting for truth, justice and that last thing uhh (peace)
Oh...is that what this was all about
I mean, so what's the problem if I earn myself a little clout
Oh...I'm running out of money
Well at least I still have more guns than any other country
Just what is justice
I believe that justice just is having the biggest muskets
You disagree, fine, have it your way
Operator, (hello) connect me to Guantanamo Bay
Some say my methods are unhealthy
Well, health's a luxury meant only for the wealthy
Get off my back, yea we have problems, this is evident
It's time for a change, maybe a spanish president
The land of the free, home of the braves
Land of equality, built upon the backs of the slaves
Home to applepie, baseball, the A-bomb
You'll see a bomb if you even think I'm wrong
(America)
Better than these other nations
Taking control of all locations
Evil-doers beware of the things you do
You can't escape red, white and blue
You know why, I am America
Oh say can you see what I'm doing to you
Instigate madness, then tell you it's cool
America, we didn't really throw off the chains
We just replaced them with flashing lights on tv screens
Don't mean to inconvenience you, but I must though
Because we can't go letting those shackles rust, yo
Information can't be free, that's a fopa
So I had to wash the internet clean with SOPA
Oh god, my time is running out again
Some nonsensical rebel thinks he can preach against my whims
I can't allow that, he caught the principles' attention
Now I have to put him in indefinite detention
Oh well, school isn't learning him anyway
Just another cog in this mechanical menagerie
Sorry, silly, foolish little people
Jeez dude, you didn't really think that we was equals

You Are Not Alone

Have you ever felt alone
I don't mean chilling by yourself, waiting to hear the ring of the phone
I mean cold, your soul possessed with sorrow
So you can't even pretend that you wish to see tomorrow
And the darkness is your only friend
Because darkness is all you can count on in the end
It doesn't even matter, yo what a shame
As the pendulum swings, time bids farewell to your name
Wondering was it in vein, but can't tell
Because current circumstances done got you stranded in Hell
Fire and brimstone, smoke and ashes
Really like you falling prey to the shit of the masses
Bastards, trying to hold you back from what you believe
Impede your tracks and steal away the air you breath
Have you lost your mate, trying to find the ark???
While the clouds up above cry tears from the heart...
Have you lost sight of your goals??? (You are not alone!!!)
Are you walking on burning coals??? (You are not alone!!!)
Have these pages cut you, getting caught in the fold???
While the plot of your story gets shot full of holes...
I sat and had a talk with God
He didn't speak, but in that silence said all I needed to hear
There are no words that can rid your mind of fear
Just travel through the fog and know that it will soon be clear
Because courage isn't the absence of fear, au contrair
It's the will to act despite the fact fear is there
So go along mon frere
Knowing inaction is the only way yo can err
I hear a story once, about a stupid dunce
Who had the world at his fingertips
He had but to utter one word, yea it sounds absurd
But listen to these symbols from my lips
He was a nerd, up against a neuro-typical herd
But he still found himself on top
But he was so used to defeat, the sorry bastard lost the will to compete
And his number one status dropped
Have you lost your mate, trying to find the ark???
While the clouds up above cry tears from the heart...
Have you lost sight of your goals??? (You are not alone!!!)
Are you walking on burning coals??? (You are not alone!!!)
Have these pages cut you, getting caught in the fold???
While the plot of your story gets shot full of holes...
Get it together boy (or girl), whatever the case may be
I been seeing too many things that I should not see
Like a teen, with a child, doing drugs, acting wild
Gets mad at her mom for helping her with the baby
Say can you see, the end is coming (the End of Days???)
I don't mean scenarios of thievery, people crying, screaming and running
I mean a scene of greenery, a scene that needs to be
Seen repeatedly upon each magazine and computer screen
No I do not have a dream, I have a idea for reality
And I will defend this vision up until the end
When all the thoughts have been drained from out this pen
Master of wisdom, practice eternal zen
So come along with me, follow me down these twisting paths
At which so many critics laugh so hollow, callous, glib and crass
But all that matters is who gets the last
And who will be remembered when the as the sand falls from the hourglass
