strange it was
the outcome…yeah?
making covenant with the government
a bureaucratic cabal
preaching change is gonna come
children of lesser gods
kept you at odds
pre-occupied
slow cooked like that framed frog
while you over-looked
the hand up Mona Lisa’s skirt
bartering idealism for dirt
sans Eden
didn’t see the fangs
dangling behind the smile
felt the sludge of that long green mile
while bills formed a dusty pile
living life past due
filled with more blues than rhythm
the schism gaslights you
nightly…bastardizing your dreams
your beliefs and behaviors betray you
weighted like spiritual contraband
and the Band plays on
the more you think…the more you sink
down Dante’s Inferno
drowning in your own hypocrisy
liar liar…you strangle your common sense
a straggler stuck inside a silken lair
mangled in buyer’s remorse
’til that Force within
comes and course correct…reconnect
re-erect the spine with the Divine…all chakras on deck
steady mobbin with the Soul intent to
resurrect the Revenant in you
resurrect the Revenant in you
Your pen has power, Naajir. You weld it like a trident of discourse. Because you see that discourse and use it against itself.
Always well spoken with a keen wisdom.
This was one of those vibes that started one way but ended up
on a more inspirational tone. I like those moments.
Big thx for such a profound comment, Styxian
Much respect

Powerfully penned, Naaj. Excellent write my friend. This has a flow that would make great song lyrics. Nicely done per usual brother. Appreciate you.

You read my mind in regards of putting it into song format. I’ve been in and out if Suno
and I like how they piece things together. Big thx for droppin by, Damian.

We read this thinking of all the people now wanting to claim innocence, The supporters of Nero and Caligua who supported the emperor even after discovering their madness. The mad rulers campaign on their sickness and still found themselves in power. There is no depth to the madness, you lose yourself using the normal routes to navigate. Tight
Great analysis, bro. We gotta stay grounded in our covenant in times like this
Thx or droppin in.
Much respect
Naaj
