Malicious devour the void
Vacuum,
Stealthy figures roam
about wearily,
hungry mouths drooling
with Saliva,
Yearning for something
to Quell the hunger,
Squalor & Poverty lay
behind the City's
Glittering Facade,
like Myriad stars they
Quest for food & water
to Quench there thirst
& Hunger,
In squalid & Inhumane
conditions they're
left alone to
Fend for themselves,
those Opulent quibble
about their Crooked
toes & noses,
yet the Poor & Beggars
only seek Basic neccessities,
without Complain they
portray Factitious smiles
as they go about
there Daily Routines,
though Pauppers in
God they believe
unlike the Rich who
have Negated God.
Pursuit for success
is the Vital nexus
between them.
Through nefarious activities
like Peculate is how they
Acquire there wealth,
while the Poor wan't
Success through the
Clean-Way,
what a Mutty and
Contra-Society....

Abstract shapes of various colours
Congregate against the viridescent canvas,
Ready to worship the thing that was hidden away for so long; arcane.
Prodigious circles of many talents,
A constant rotation of life and death.
A long road with no end.
Or a deep ocean with no beginning?
While the verdency of eau de Nil possess such entities,
The black and yellow striped obscurities peculate life and confer to the triangles.
Obnubilate.

So How Much of Our Brains...
Do People USE... Today... ?

I REALLY Wonder Now...
When Hearing The Sounds...
That Come From Some Mouths... ?!?

That SHOW How Much Some Brains Get STUFFED...
With Strains That Relegate And.... INCAPACITATE.... !!!!

Ways For Brains To... ELEVATE...
BEYOND What's FED By Societal Trends...
That Now Seem BENT On KEEPING Brains DEAD... !?!

HOW MUCH I Ask Do People TASK...
Their Brains To THINK BEYOND Things That BLING... ?!?

Or USING DRINK And OTHER Things...
To DAMAGE Cells Like Bullets From SHELLS... !!!!!!!!!!!!!

... These Brains AREN'T Well... !!!!!

So DON'T Excel And Seem To Be NUMB...
Because They're... NOT USED MUCH... !!!!!

Those Known As... " DUMB "...
Who'd Rather Use GUNS Than Brain Functions...
That RISE ABOVE... that kind of stuff... !!!!

So The Question is... THIS... ?!?
Do You USE Your Brain MUCH... ?!?
Or Are You ONE Who CLAIMS To THINK... !?!
But ONLY Uses It... AFTER Doing DUMB THINGS... ?!!!?

Like Making Up NOISE After You Made A Choice...
That LACKED The Poise of A Brain That VOICED...

GOOD REASON To YOU...
Which YOU... REFUSED... ?!?

These Brains Are Confused And FILLED With ISSUES... !!!!
Because Their MAIN USE... Is Being ABUSED.... !!!
By Those Who CHOOSE To Behave Like FOOLS...

When Their Brains Function...
Like The Rest of Us... ?!?

Actually They DON'T... !!!?!!!

Cos' They'd Rather Denote A... " Sinking boat "... !?!
From The Things They Quote And How They Roll... !!!

So Fellas' When It Comes To LOVE...

" Do You Use Your Brain MUCH ? "...

Or Just Act On IMPULSE For Ya **** To Get ******... !?!

And Ladies...

" Do You Use Your Brains ? "......

When It Comes To Choosing The Men You... " LAY "... !?!

Or Do You Play Men Like...
Some Kind of Board Game... ?!?

For You To... " PECULATE "... !!!
Financial GAIN When Separation REIGNS... !!!!

RELAX Girls I'm Just... SAYING... !!!

If THAT'S Why You Be... " LAYING "... ?
But LATER You Feel PAIN... !!!
Because Your Game Was FAKE...
And EVERYTHING But STRAIGHT... !!!!!

I'm Saying That YOUR BRAIN If USED In BETTER WAYS...
Could Well of... Saved You STRAIN... !!!
If You'd USED It BEFORE ACTING Like Some *****... !!!

So... Is Yours A Brain...
That COMMANDS Intellect...
But LACKS... " Common Sense "... !?!

Cos' There Are PLENTY of THEM... !!!!!

Intellectual FOOLS Who FOLLOW In Schools...
Like FISH In Pools... Or SHEEP In Pens... !!!

Where They... Contend...
With Those Who TEND To Cause Them STRESS... !!!

Cos' They SUPPLEMENT Their Mental...
With Thought Waves DETRIMENTAL... !!!
To How Their Brain... Makes Waves...

So They CANNOT Elevate Brainwaves To Cogitate...
To THINKING On A... HIGHER PLANE... !!!!!

One Where Brains............................ ESCAPE..........
That Place Where Thoughts Are... "CAGED"... !!!!!

Because of Thoughts That Make...
Weak Brainwaves Vegetate...
Into A... " Dormant State "...

To ENSURE They CAN'T Relate...
To THINKING That Is GREAT... !!!

So Are You... " The Type "...
To HARBOUR LIES Inside Your Mind... ?!?!?

But Somehow STILL Try To INSTIL...
Your Brain As... SHINING BRIGHT...

I Think That Brains Inclined...
To UTILISE LIES As Their LIfe's Guide...
Are Something Like A Computer VIRUS... !!!
There's A CON In The Air Who's Sumthin' Like CYRUS... !!!!!

A Malkovich Vision Whose Surname Was Grissom...
A ... PSYCHOTIC TYRANT ...
Whose Brain NURTURED VIOLENCE... !!!

Until He Was........... silenced.
By Less Insane Brains ASK Nicholas Cage... !!!!!!

These Days My Brain DISPLAYS An ARRAY of Wordplay...
When My Thought Waves Meet Pen With Page... !!!

While These LIARS And FAKES...
Are So Mentally DERANGED... !!!
That I Just DON'T KNOW How They Stay AFLOAT... ?!?

When They THROTTLE And CHOKE...
Their Brains Like... " Coc' "... !!!!!

A Drug That... INFLATES...
Access In Some Brains To AMAZING DISPLAYS... !!!!!!!!!!

From Screen To On Stage...
From Actors To Rappers In LIMITLESS Ways... !!!

Or So It... " SEEMS "... ???

This Piece of Poetry...
Is PARTIALLY Themed From The Movie... " LUCY "...

That Looked At This... Loosely...
In Ways That Were... GROOVY... !!!

In How it Suggests.........
Humanity Tends To Access Much LESS...
Than A HUNDRED PER CENT...
of Human BRAIN POWER As If It's A Lounger... !?!?!

Which Is Why THIS QUESTION...
Is One I'm... DISSE - CTING...

When It Comes To Love And OTHER Life Stuff...

When You REALLY Think About It................
With Thoughts That ARE NOT CLOUDED... !!!!!

When You Think About The Way...
We Humans Live... TODAY...

In Terms of Our Brain Space...
It's VOLUME And CAPACITY...
And USAGE In... HUMANITY...

BEYOND It's USE For FUN...

When It Comes To What We've ACCESSED...
and THUS How We... FUNCTION...

My Question IS.............

...... " How Much ? ".....
Inspired as stated, in no small way, by the movie Lucy, however, it is an interesting subject to write about ........
