Too revolutionary for this square planet

Mind's body too curvaceous to fit within this world's average fabric

Man cannot live on bread alone

so I added wisdom and knowledge to my dinner

got fat in vocab to make the element of eloquent expression

effortless and clearer

Guard Your Ears!

I use my tongue as a weapon to spit rhapsodic

rapid rhythms

You call it poetry

I call it AK-47!

The National Guard can't quiet me down

just when they think they've surrounded me

I morph into sound

Not Clark Kent

but I change in a booth on 1 Samuel 16:16

become a lyrical musician

spitting smooth harp things that King David could not believe

I write

to be righteous

write just to expose the wrong

rid men of evil spirits as if all their names were Saul

spit melodic strings in stanzas and bars and lull them to calm with my psalms

Thunder slower than the light

so I let my voice rumble

while I speak the truth

Phat in delivery

but humility helps me float above stupidity

this creative remedy way more healing than chicken soup!

Uncle always said I had green hair and wasn't nothin' wrong with it

Ain't nothin' in this world I'd rather be than

eccentric

stylistic

funkadelic

complex yet simplistic

exquisite

efficient

effervescent

arT-Tastic
