The Human Condition

At the sound of these chimes I find my rhymes persistent
propagating positive lines like I'm getting a fine dime
for every time a mind's been lit with
the light of my tongue's a diamond
perfect sides that reflect consistence
mirror images bend to ways of that of my mystics
transcend synonyms of my soul that I don't know like secrets
that's why I lend my family the castle and moat the thrown is our own
cuz they the surrounding spirits that know where the lungs & home is
and when one of the tribe is fucked with
we armor clad battle honed and steady
slitherin outta rome gotta handful of gonads
at our right hands our cronies grins glimmering
behind helmets shimmering appendages fingering
towards the hilts of swords we forged from serpents
built with love but that's why we shove relentlessly
endlessly our wrists are framed by white cuffs
sharp as a sturgeon surgeon stuffed
with Ritalin urging for a patient
a skin ticket a slit in the right divet
a twist on the spout of the right spigot
sorry hun about the extra incision
but a motherfuckers gotta pay the rent
to house my lovers and friends
a reason worth fighting for
a reason to brandish our blades
curve the words / extinguish the hate
relinquish the state of the sounds we made
hammer and sickle and socket and spade
laid from the dirt into mounds
reconditioning the ground
we may reposition landscapes
but what of the heartscapes and what do the storms say?

still as a staff against a soldiers stiff palm
calm as an explosion in the basement
disaster derangement
hurricanes we could encase and harness
if we projected a positive lattice across the face of the planet

do tell what are the depths
of this furious well that flourishes well
what are the composites of the human condition
do tell what are it's systems
where is the book of shadows to it's spells
here's a paper and pencil write that down
and list them in order of where they're bound from
where they are going and where I can catch them
cuz I got inside information that recognition of these
human traits as weaknesses is dangerous
cuz I'm experiencing symptoms deemed slanderous
that we're comin to grips with our old sickly position
maybe bone thin still thickly spun hazardous
waste contaminates our taste the similarities
amidst our breathy kiss betwixt the mist
we trace the lips of our brethren hope spattered
community laced racing the endorphins
it's like were all dreaming the same dream
so take me to a place unlike anything I've ever seen
unlike anywhere I've ever been
where the only machines propagate beauty
and a sound that is near haunting
sound that fulfills and never leaves me wanting
where we're never walking
just glide on the tones we're practically floating
so take me to a place unlike anything I've ever seen
unlike anywhere I've ever been
a place inside where we know what we can be
where we know what can be reached
so take me

still as a staff against a soldiers stiff palm
calm as an explosion in the basement
disaster derangement
hurricanes we could encase and harness
if we projected a positive lattice across the face of the planet
in the blink of an eye / in the space of a life
we could wake up tomorrow and everything'd be fine
we just need to confide in that the deliverance of the beauty of life
is based in our conscious projection of willful change and of mind
and we could explore space
together
both inner
and outer
in peace
forever
