Individual v. Public
 
Penskills is. . Jessica Lynch

I'm walking on Hollow Grounds, a labyrinth of millions
Filled with bloody stains and clamy prints of children
Cremated Tongues coat my lungs...and I'm never knowin
Trippin over gnarled bones, that graves are overflowin
Now I've seen the dead, not those' lived in lovin, but
Those that died open eyed, flung open wide in judgement
Chained to a Cov'nent whose eyes sigh in resignation
Of life lost in Dreams mocked, by Death's preservation
Dignity holds no weight,they believe the grass is greener on only their side
As in infinity, a cycle of hate-broken and mended by the faults they hide
For polluted minds no sun shall rise,they lack and know only the setting Lost, their words are but a disguise,hooked on substance they're caught in the netting
Inscribed in ashes within the Devil's book: names he lies claim to
Not their soul but mind he took,blood on blood they will rise and fall like Rome's famed two...


I am. . Public, the
The bottoms fit conglomerates
of different shapes and sizes,
It's our job to scratch the bottom-feeders
and anticipate disguises. .
A perfect body?
Realize, we're forced to teleprompt and test you,
We saw propaganda rear its face
in the form of the helicopter rescue. .
Curbing the kid in me, perhaps
deserving of bigotry,
The marketable was marketed in the form of the suburban epitome. .
Well-fed & two-faced;
dare I say: a skillful, wily mouse,
Who has tattered our nation's name
via Bill O'Reilly's mouth. .
Retrieving the bright dollars
and deceiving contrite scholars. .
This victory is smeared across the dearest hearts & sleeves of the white-collared. .
Well-orchestrated;
consequences discarded hearts in blunder
Perplexing 'minds' on the daily;
and making Barbara Walters wonder. .
Untattered, like fun mattered;
even the British eyes could scold her,
But after serving our country, how can we criticize our soldiers?
Again, a genius plan -
I see Rumsfeld blessing the rich shows,
They saved his ass, but what happened?
Only Jessica Lynch knows. :rolleyes:

Koalatee and I worked on this for about 30~40mins, we had no clue what each others verse was going to come out like(although since he is one the brightest writers on this site, and I could count on him to back me up,if mine failed),I just wanted to give him props on writing a such great piece in such a short time..I hope you will enjoy this..peace...~My sig is cool!!!!

XXX-I had someone AIM me and ask me who Jessica Lynch was...I won't say any names*Cough*dazasta*cough*..but if you don't know her by now...I don't know what to tell you...

ELEETE 02-10-04 09:42 PM

Great drop! Imagery (I stress on that all the time) was amazing! Great piece!!! The subjectbeing as touchy as it is was approached very well.....(I'm in the military) ...I mean I'm stunned........if this don't get into legends nothing will.......great job to both Pen an Koalatee!!!!

I'm new here and pen I've read alot of your work....you don't need compliments...you know you're dope. Koalatee that was the first thing I've evr read of your's and trust me I'll be reading more that was brilliant. If that was written in forty minutes then I've got no criticism. I'd be stretched to find a criticism if it took ya forty days. Very nice.
if anyone gets a chance please peep my verse. First one, be nice.

fgee 02-11-04 12:13 PM

thats gay as hell
i wrote a long chunk of words discussing the verses and the jessica lynch shit..
and thought id posted it
but its not here = !
sorry
well basically this was dope..
pen..
nice verse got that side of the story across well and some tight imagery usage
nothing to really complain about except the latter lines seemed to get a bt elongated
but eh..still good
really good collab
g.hods piece was outstanding..
littered with subtle jibes at politics and sarcastically done with a range of vocab
ended it perfectly as well kind of returning it back to the first verse
you clearly know your subject matter well..
and displayed a great talent for writing on this issue
dope
props

interesting choice of topic, but not really my thing.... you handled it well, both of you, pen, yours started off rreally nice, and stayed pretty constant, but the last third, seemed to a different flow, cos it was stretched a bit, koal, your verse had a nice flow going too, and some nice wording..... it followed nicely from pens,.... but like i said, didnt really captivate me..... good collab tho

Penskills 02-11-04 04:06 PM

^thanks..more please~~~~~~~~~~

Koalatee 02-11-04 07:32 PM
