Blakops

Under the cover of night

A knight and a long knife

Ready to stick ready to slice

He looks mad tonight...  

 

The darkness is deep.

And black,

Black Like the lac sittin out front.

The notion of movin’ inconspicuous is masked

With the shadow of guilt

Swallowing any spark of light

Threatening to dissolve the lust over darkness

Projected by a mind shrouded in grey space.

 

So he sits low.

Eyes shaded by his fro.

He's patient.

An attribute many deems worthless,

He basks in its tide,

It washes over him with powerful waves of humility

Cleansing any possibility of being replicated.

Never in this life time.

 

Each step he takes is a movement in the composition of time.

Its flow is powerful but only under a benign face.

The dynamic is only determined after an attempt to cross him.

His mission is calling,

 

It has led him to this darkness.

The forests of skeletons

Infesting the closet space of his mind only confuses.  

He has realized his afflictions.

Seemingly they are lost in the black.

He watches the politics he has been sent to stop.

It’s disgusting.

But his mission is clear.

 

The path to success is not.

The path he has chosen is unique.

It has led him into the belly of the beast.

His intel was correct.

His approach is dangerous.

The chance of defecting is high, but he's betting on his will.

As his age grows so does his determination.

With every second passed he stands more ready.

 

And as the darkness consumes more of all he has built,

And as emotions of despair, pain, embarrassment, loneliness, and worry

weigh down his proud shoulders,

a peculiar spasm of creation happens.

 

He finds something.

He finds...

Well, he finds himself.

Every ounce of his frail, unmolested, un-influenced self,

Before he discovered lies, and suffered cries,

Before time played its tricks and stole his youth,

Before he started prayin’ for a direction to sin,

Before he discovered his truth.

 

Now he contemplates.

It’s never too late. He can change.

But His mission stays the same.

After all that is why he searches the dark.

To improve his third eye.

To absolve the blind.

He will not achieve perfection

but the end of his mission will come.

Remember he walks through time it does not move him.

Its blakops, the subconscious thought.
