"We hang petty theives and appoint the great ones to public offices"- Aesop

The lies of the highs, loyalty, and The top positions
they count our deaths but our presence is a omission
They take our culture, freedoms and turn them into crimes
leaving our ghetto's and cults in financial Binds
Just so they can have another chance in time
but didnt they know the minutes nor hours can rewind
so look at our state of mind, confused and dilluted
they throw there petty waste in our streets so we polluted
but how come my brothers did his wrong
and now we serve our time twice as long
so no we sing the same sad satanic song
made by the rich man, served by the poor man
demented by the higher man, to crush the lower man plan
to suceed. We hang petty thieves and appoint the great
just to a lower income and a community debate.
about their life and, rumors spread and exaggerate
so thats a punishment? A slander to your pride and name
Oh this world is only and always playing games
with the minds of our people as our futures lay in coffins
because We hang petty theives & appoint the great ones to public offices

The Catching Tears.

IP:

The Catching Tears


So defined in existence left with fear in fifth gear
As soon as the sun sets a new day starts to tear.
Descending upon pain, held guilty upon thy RAIN
For the four seasons of loneliness begins with Rushed pain.
Sailing so softly in a downward spiral, as if in shame
No one yet to remember of the past so forgotten is your name.
Scented Failure drenched on thy body of innocence
All eye’s on you as fakeness of love falls in remembrance.
Slowly dripping on the shy face of essential Degrade
Bullied and picked on with no friends in every GRADE.
Colored racists flaring, every one pin pointing at one another
Not thinking before they act as they notice there the lonely other.
No food on thy table. For what table is there to begin with
For I am the lone ranger sailing on thy own on the LONELY SHIP.
Ocean crashing against the rocks as I wake up to a new day
But nothing ever changes thy way so I may say until today.
As I watched how the rocks stopped the waves with it’s touched
I reminisced of a time where I had that feeling and loved it so much.
For then where has it gone, for why has it thy left me alone
Leaving me stranded and drenched in pain with no pain feeling COLD.
For it was not thy fault. It was me all along for I had not seen.
Drenched my soul is the ascending water. As if I was in a river stream.
Solemnly though I swear upon your faithfulness SEAM
To one’s eye’s in surprise as I glide on this believable BEAM.
As you and I collide to be one thy sight of happiness is Keen
With you help of guiding and my will to believe brings us as a tag team.
In an endless scheme of endless DREAMS there’s no fear HERE
As I float atop the ocean I call my OWN dream. The catching tears.

OZ:

I wasnt really feeling your verse, the emotion was weak, no good imagery just blantant rambling in my opinion. I mean there were good aspects but for the most part your verse lacked what it needed to become a good written verse. The vocab was ok but i know you can do better than that. Use more wordplay and try to make ya bars sound good. You worded alot of lines poorly, to the point that it lost its effectiveness.


Overall: 4/10


Shodown:

First off let me say you suprised me a bit here. It wasnt outstanding i wouldnt say your a topical genious. But yes you did win this battle. The most irritating thing about your verse was the 'thy'. This is topical battles on a website, not english lit. Lose the 'thy'. Your vocab probably stood out the most in this battle, but your emotion was on point you got indepth with this topic which can hurt some peoples style but you wrote a decent verse for the topic that didnt drag on.


Overall: 7.5/10


Vote: Shodown

Oz.:

The lies of the highs, loyalty, and The top positions

They take our culture, freedoms and turn them into crimes
leaving our ghetto's and cults in financial Binds
Just so they can have another chance in time
but didnt they know the minutes nor hours can rewind

^I like the beginning but I feel you kinda rushed from the one thing to the other. You switch from aspect to aspect but the transition isn't smooth, you just mention these issues but don't really work them out. I would like to see more details, maybe skip some issues but be more indepth about a couple of them you know. The vocab was a tad basic, imagery could be better as well. Solid but you could do a lot more with this topic and overall storyline.


so look at our state of mind, confused and dilluted
they throw there petty waste in our streets so we polluted
but how come my brothers did his wrong
and now we serve our time twice as long
so no we sing the same sad satanic song
made by the rich man, served by the poor man
demented by the higher man, to crush the lower man plan

^Same prob, you go from polluting to your brother. Get more details on one aspect, then smoothly move on to the next you know. Also do a spelling check, it is easier to read. I like the last lines with the "man" bit, I enjoyed how you worded that.


to suceed. We hang petty thieves and appoint the great
just to a lower income and a community debate.
about their life and, rumors spread and exaggerate
so thats a punishment? A slander to your pride and name
Oh this world is only and always playing games
with the minds of our people as our futures lay in coffins
because We hang petty theives & appoint the great ones to public offices

^The prob stays the same basically so I'll comment on the entire piece. I thought you picked a great topic and I see where you are going with this but add more details, make it longer and just speak on each issue a bit more. Give us images, give us emotion but do it bit by bit and make sure the transition goes smoothly.

^I like the storyline you are using, you filled the topic in nicely. The imagery was there, I love some of your wordings because they had a poetic feel to it. Transition could be smoother in some spots though, here and there you have same prob as Oz. IMO. Oh and the caps are not necessary at all, lose that because it gets annoying. I enjoy the emotion you put into it as well, vocab could be better.

^Nice ending, I like how you worked towards this. I have nothing to add to my previous statement in fact. That sums this stanza up as well, you had the solid stuff down. Just put a few raw edges in there, work on vocab a bit but the storyline is good, the imagery and emotion are on point as well.



My vote goes to shodown for having a more complete and interesting piece!

i feel like oz didn't really try on this one. brought somthing simple, yet not pleasing in the way that a topical would make you see a picture while showdown came nice using the same topic as i did but in a different way. good rhyming. nice description as well as the structure...good job showdown!

vote-shodown

yeah, i vote shodown....although he didn't have a totally original piece and it was written with clarity and precision....i still liked the ending....oz, couldn't get into yours man, the topic direction was poor and kinda provocative and bias....i say expand horizons on your topics, or something like that....and it didn't catch me at all, dry...word

v/shodown
