MODERATORS ARE LAW OF THE LAND

This is Alias2-

Blood runs from crosses
That we hold
To heart

He spoke with a soldier’s stance
And a roving glance
Attention is held with a soap box chant
Trying to give a rapt audience, a sober chance
At redemption
But the tension is over fast
Everyone outside the ring
Sees it’s a token farce
Lie upon lie
Built on the ruins of a broken past
War upon war
Miserable individuals still see it as their chosen path
His speech was a frozen laugh
With the hypocrisy in his throat
He should’ve been choking hard
This show man starts, to walk a thin line
I hold no hate for him
For his profession could have been mine
He read my mind
While I read his books
He thought I was subnormal
I thought he was a bedlam crook
His emblem took my heart from my throat
He planted it in their minds
To watch these charlatans grow
I laughed at this show of strength
He spoke in thunderous speech
We all know what’s next
A hypocrite
Little slip of the tongue
With a bit of spittle dripped
On the altar
They alter their life course
If only just a little bit
I settle for the life I lead, he thinks I’m a bit strange
He believes
That anyone not in the middle road is possessed of a sick brain
I’d like to punch him till my fist breaks
In this day and age
Anyone can manipulate to get some quick change
The sheep still have trouble
Acknowledging he was mixed race
The world should’ve seen
That it’s all been a mistake
And I’ve been writing prose
For and against
Until my wrist aches
Every man, woman, child I’ve seen is addicted
The writings proclaim love
But it’s not better than any other sickness
I’ve seen poor, rich, middle
Sick minds, strong mind
All of whom were afflicted
They still rape, steal, take drugs
Don’t face up
To the ideals running through their blood stream
It’s the bare faced hypocrisy
I can’t stand the taste of
And I know it’s a sad kick
But as they say
Religion is the opiate of the masses

- You're heroin in someone's blood steam...

Between Skulls and Stars



A following fall of a hollowing squall
stampedes and then captures
Voices that echo, a stir, a whisper, a wish for no blisters in rapture
A faint essence of faith in the resin one taste
that’s still present today
on the lips of hypocrites..

A bullet that ricocheted from rape once Hitler pulled it.. penetrate
Veins on Russia’s border like a freight train in order
to remain safe from slaughter, right before a
horde of Zionists re-claw their.. way to Palestinian gates..
Soon jelled opinions were forming
Of Europeans supporting
New reasons for deporting
Though stuck under a law which they did create
Racist violence on migrants
From Russia through times where
Silence was golden and belief meant demise
Within the eyes of new bigots
here lies a shrewd trigger
that’s tied on rapid fire through vigor
n’ guise to smooth digits
dyed on the bridges of tattooed cries

A fallen heritage recoiling in change
Soiled with grenades of a sprawling disgrace
Marked flesh of their flesh pressed
The •••ish faith contested
Aliyah Bets is the best bet to gain respect yet
Their immigration is illegal
A vast sequel by no choice
With remorse to penetrate Israel
For past equality in voice
As the masses approach a foreign land exposed
Their host explodes with a similar path that Russia had chose
Not of religion but rather land
As •••ish history and doctrines have influenced Christianity n’ Islam
So to look like heroes the US steps in
Purely for this one and only reason
It’s a fight they can win.. made in cement
Hoping people will forget
Russia did the same while the wounds where still fresh
But the Development of the Atomic Bomb comes at an expense
on the backs of the country that’s not an-atomic-ly correct

sign that easter is here with the religious touches .. lol

Alias - I'm glad you continued with this piece .. and hey .. Cereal actually showed too .. bonus .. I liked the flip on the heroin/religion thing .. some clever use of wording in areas and I was feeling the vybe of the piece .. maybe a touch more poetry based than open mic in structure and presentation .. but never the less .. it was a nice simple (without being simplistic) read ..

Cereal - this was hit and miss in terms of summing it up 'overall' .. it was good but on the lower end of "good" .. the flow never caught on with me but what I was reading had moments that pulled me in .. however .. too often it spat me back out again with wording that didn't feel 'right' .. a decent drop but lacked in overall strength of continuity ..

Vote = Alias2 .. some similarities in the content between the two but I just feel that when compared .. Alias had a more interesting piece with better wording when portraying an emotion or scene to the reader ..

[Lord Drama]

This was another close match. I liked both drops, both had their own unique structures, both touched on religion, both were thoughtful. I did feel slightly more creativity coming out of CK's piece, although the picture deserved something better written about it than russia in my opinion..

vote CK

this vote is inadequate in breakdown and is dq'd.

[Got Life?]

alias - i think this was a really good take on an otherwise pretty awful topic although the religion theme has really been beat to death and while I enjoyed what you wrote, it's not like you really brought anything new to the table.

ck - honestly to take that topic and flip it into this takes some serious fucking issues in ones head...but yea...I thought the material was a little dry as well though I think where you edged it out is that your topical material was a little more fresh to the eyes...

both of you executed well, had solid imagery and a great writers voice, but the subjects on which you spoke was the difference here.

vote = CK for a little more originality.
