AND HAVE FAMILYS MOURING THE FORSAKEN AND LOST ONES IVE TAKEN
BLACKNESS...

BRAIDS TIGHT LIKE DREADLOCKS OF BEDROCK;
STRAY KNOTS CATCH STONE SHOTS THAT GHOST HOP
CLOSE SHOPS STREETS CLEAR LIKE A ROADBLOCK
EXCEPT FOR TWO THAT STAND, STARE LIKE A CYCLOPS
AGREED UPON EM LIKE THE EMPERORS CROPS
IF YOUR SHORT ON YOUR AMOUNT ITS A TERRIBLE LOSS
BLOOD POURS RIVERS FLOW OF LOST LIFE ITS THE COST
OKINAWA DARTS RAFTS SINK IN THE SWELLZ OF MIGHT
WE DONT NOT HAVE TO FIGHT;
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DIE;
BUT YOU WILL
GINSU SELF INFLICTED OF A FULL BLOODED NINJA
IN AN INSTANT TASTE OF RUST HAS HIM RUNNIN THROUGH THE WINTER
CHOKIN ON GOLD COINS, THEY JUS CUT OUT YO STOMAC,
SWALLOW WALLETS QUICKLY, TO DIEEE FOR YOUR MONEYY
TRY TO HIDE FROM GODS TITHE IN YO KIMONO
SLICE THROUGH YOUR SENSORY THE ENDING OF YOUR SCROLL
WRITTEN ON PAPYRUS, STILL A MEMBER OF THE FOREST
A WOOD BOX THAT WE STORE OUR SOULS IN , ITS MORBID
.....ALL MY ENEMIES DIE; IN THE LIGHT OF HORUS
AND NEVER FORGOT THE FACE OF A PHARAONIC SWORDSMAN

HE SIT UPON A MOLTEN THRONE OF SCOLDED BONES
... WITH SPEARMEN ON EITHER SIDE PREPAIRED TO DIE FOR HIM
WITH FANS HELD BY WOMAN, AND LARGE PLATES OF FOOD
A BATTLE ENSUES INFRONT OF HIM TO MAKE HIM GRIN
3 CANINES WITH JEWEL ENCRUSTED HEAD DRESSES
AND TAILS SWAY WITH WEAPONS SHARPLY MAKING THERE PROGRESSIONS
TWO PILLARS SPIRAL TO THE CEILING , MAJOR HIGH APPEALING
WITH DICE ROLLIN TRIPLE 7'S NO MENTION OF PENANCE ....
HE WEARS A JADE PENDANT AT HIS CENTER
THE SAME COLOR AS THE JUNGLE WHERE HE GOES TO SLUMBER
THEY WAIT FOR HIM IN NUMBERS, MUCH BEYOND HIS OWN HUNGER ..
BUT EATS SAVAGELY TO QUENCH ALL OF HIS ANCESTORS
TRAINS IN THE DARK WITH SMOKE HE STRIKES QUICK...
HIS ROOM FILLED WITH ARMOR OF DEMONS AND ENDLESS PITS..
IN WOMBS HE KICKED WITH JAGGED KNIVES EVENTUALLY THEY RIPPED
FULLY ROBED IN FINE SILKS THAT CUT THROUGH THE WIND
HIS BARE CHEST SHOWING WHEN HE ENTERED THE CHAMBER
HIS TEETH COVERED IN GEMS AND KNUCKLES IN RAZORS
AT HIS WAIST A BUCKLE THAT WAS OLD AS THE AGES
THAT HELD EVERY SOUL THAT HE CLAIMED ALONG THE PAGES
BLUE AS THE SAGE AND WHITE LOTUS ENGAGED
IN A DANCE OF DEATH, DIM MAK KUSA-RIGAMA
BROKEN BREATH EACH STEP HAS A LASTING EFFECT
HIS AURA TRAILED HIM FROM HERE TO TIBET

I PUT MY FIST DOWN ON THE BAR, WITH A COUPLE EXTRA YEN FOR THE MAID
SHE PAMPERED ME, FILED THE SKIN FROM MY RANCID FEET, AND BOILED TEA, LEISURELY
I D BEEN ROAMINGGG.... FOR MANY MANY MOONS, WITH NOT ONE WOMB, TO FIND COMFORT IN
SINCE MY SUN HAD BEEN MURDERED , HAVENT SLEPT IN A BED, MUCH LESS NEXT TO A WOMAN
SHE FELT AND SMELT LIKE CHERRY BLOSSOMS
WALKED LIKE A PHANTOM ON THIS PHYSICAL PLAIN, HAD SEEN SO MUCH PAIN,
AND MANY MORE SLAIN, ITS JUS THE BUISNESS THAT SHE MEDDLED IN
GIVIN UP SIN FOR SIN, TRAINED IN HAND TO HAND, COULD BREAK YOUR CHEST PLATE WITH HER HEADSPACE ON DEMAND
ALSO RAN THE NUMBERS, DOMINOES AND DICE COLD SLICE OF CHOPPED FINGAZ
TRAINED UNDER MASTER YAO WITH AMAR-RATSU-CLOUD,
NAMES BEEN ON CASSETTE, YOKO HOWL
SIC-BO HAND STYLES ...
RELIEVED THE PAIN IN MY BACK WITH ONE SMILE
GLIMMER OF ENAMEL
LIKE A PAINTED PEARL
THAT CAME FROM ANOTHER WORLD
KAY COE [KEIKO]
OUR RICE WINE SPILT AS WE LAUGHED CARELESSSLY
OUR MINDS BUILT PYRMIDS IN THE ENDLESS SEAS
PARENTHESIS, PANTHEONS AND EMBASSY'S
THAT STRETCH ACROSS ETERNITY....
ETERNALLY; A COLD KILLA, WITH A SLIGHT GRIN GROWIN
TO FIND ONE AS HEARTLESS AS HIM, SIMPLY KNOWING
TO DIE TOGETHER FRIVOLOUSLY
AND DEFEND EQUALLY AS VICIOUSLY
IT WAS MEANT TO BE
SWORD SWUNG, AS HE ROSE TO A SHOGUN
PAST HER A LOTUS, SHE USED AS A BLOW GUN
WATCH THE HEAD SPIN, BONES POTRUDE FROM NECK SKIN
NO NEXT OF KIN TO SAVE THEM, OR GAURDS TO ENSLAVE US...
WE WALKED AWAY SCATHLESS WITH OUR HANDS IN EACHOTHERS
THE MAIDEN OF THIS OPIUM DEN WITH MANY FEATHERS
SHE SAID TO ME MANY WORDS BUT NONE OF THEM MATTERED...
SIMPLY THAT SHE WILL SHARPEN MY BLADE

WHO SENSE WHAT IS, AND HOW ITS DEFINED FOR..
THOSE WHO VIEW IT, FROM EYES OF A CONCORD
AT SUCH-A DISTANCE WHEN RIGHT UP CLOSE
MISSING DETAILS MINUUTE, CIRCLE ITS HOST
A RARE STONE THAT DRAWS POWER FROM MY FORM
LIKE OSCILLATING TESLA ORBS,
THAT STORE, ENERGY FROM EVERY SPIRIT I'VE ABSORBED
MENACING STORM, FROM EVERYWHERE IVE EXPLORED
FOREVER and MORE, TERRAFORMING LORDZ
BUILDING CASTLES WITH THERE THRONES,
and ROAMING THROUGH DIMENSIONS WITH STONE BRICKZ and BONEZ
OKINAWA CENTER PIECE, MEDALLION OF MEDDAIEN
HEAVEN SCENTED GAURDIAN FROM GRAVEYARDS OF MELODIES
ANGELS PLAY THERE STRINGS FOR HE, AN UNBIASED SYMETRY
AND SINFULLY RAISE THEY HANDS TO SKIES WHILE THEY SING FOR ME
FORLORN PASSAGES, OPEN UP WITH HAPPINESS
TO LET HIM FINALLY LEAVEEEEE.... THE PLACE HE WAS TRAPPED IN
TO REST PEACEFULLY, SLEEP UNDERNEATH AN EARTHLY TREE

PALMS RAISE TO THE SKY, OMINIOUSLY
and LIQUID FILLS YOUR LUNGS INEVITABLY

A VIEW OUT A ROOM THAT WAS SMOKE FILLED
I SAT BLIND ; BUT HEARD EVERY WIND CHIME
SMELLED EACH FALLING LEAF, AND EVERY DROP OF BLOOD
EACH MOMENT OF HATE, AND EVERY OUNCE OF LOVE
BORN HEAR, IN WHITE ROBES and GREY HAIR
WEAPON SITS IDLE, BESIDE HIS WOODEN CHAIR
BANGLES HANG FROM EACH HAND, GOLDEN SANDS..
FALL FROM HIS SLEEVES WITH EVERY CHANGE OF HIS STANCE
THREADS WEAVE ARO-UND HIS RIBS LIKE A BED OF THORNS
SLEEP PEACEFULLY AMONG MEN WITH HORNS
MEDALLIAN, CENTER PIECE, HIS BREAST CHAKRA
OKINAWA BUT HEART REIGNS IN CASABLANCA
TO THE EAST ALITTLE FURTHER WEAR PYRAMIDS REST
ANUBIS INKED ON HIS CHEST OSIRIS WATCH HIS STEPS
OPALS IN HIS PUPILS NO STUDENTS OR SEEDLINGS
BUT BREATHING WOULD BE... HIS MAIN SOURCE TEACHING
THE SKULL OF A FOO DOG AND GOLDEN NINJA STATUE
PLACED ON A MANTLE, WITH 7 CANDLES
LIT ONE BY ONE, SUPRESS WITH A SINGLE STROKE
DONE A THOUSAND TIMES , OR SO IT GOES
THE DOOR SLOWLY CROAKS, I MOVE AS THE SMOKE
AND STAND BEHINDE IT WAITING FOR UNSUSPECTING FOES
THROUGH THE GRAVEYARDS I WALKED AND VIEWD ALL THE DEAD
ALL I SENT, FROM EARTH TO THE END
HEADLESS AND LIMBLESS, LIFELESS AND TIMID
BROKEN AND WISHLESS, LUSTING FOR A MISTRESS
OPEN AND MISSING FROM BOATS WHILE THEY FISHING
TO BROTHELS AND MISSIONS FROM LORDS AND THERE HENCHMEN
BLOOD RINGS and ROPE DARTS
BENGALS AND LEOPARDS
FINGERZ IN LETTERS
AND HEADS AS A MESSAGES
BORN AS ONE,
BORN AS A WEAPON
BORN TO BE BEARING, LIFE AS A LESSON
, LESIONS OF DEADMEN

SAMURAI JAZZ BARS, REMINDED OF MY FAVORITE
THE OMNIPOTENT QUAZAR, NONE OTHER THAN
THE ONE AND ONLY, LORD AND HOLY
GROVEL LOWER THEN LOWLY
MASTER-A-CEREMONIES ON PANDA ST....
NINJAS RUN WITH PADDED FEET ->
ACROSS DORMANT CREEKS AND LEAP
UN-TOO BROKEN LEAVES SILENTLY WHERE ENEMY SLEEP
10 IN THE DEEP, FLOAT WITH THE REEDS
GHOST, AND ONLY TO BE , A MEM-OR-Y
A WISP OF SMOKE IN ETERNITY
OF CENTURIES, MANY MORE WILL PASS EVENTUALLY
BRASS SCREAM IN THE EARS LIKE SWORDZ COLLAPSIN FROM THE SKIEZ
IN DEATH MEN ONLY ASK FORGIVENESS OF LIES
ITS PATHETIC BUT PROTHETIC IN RHETORIC OF DESCENDANTS
WHEN YOU TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHATS EMBEDDED...
MY FORM CEMENTED IN THE HEAVENS TRAVEL BED ROCK OF MY ESSENCE
AS TOO UNDERSTAND THE STRUGGLE OF MY SENTANCE
PERMANENT, I PERMEATE IN LESSONS PAST REGRESSIONS
WE EARN ANOTHER WEAPON THROUGH EVERY TRANSGRESSION ...
SENDIN HOUNDS THE SIZE OF PLANETS AT YO BANDITZ
WHERE YOU CRASHIN, SLEEPIN CIVILLY ITS ALL ABOUT VANISH,
MOST OUR LIVES ARE SPENT, SECRETING VILE DAMAGE
UNAWARE OF THE PATH OF OUR PASSAGE
WALKIN BLINDLY LIKE KUBUKI THROUGH THE RUBIES
LOGGIN HOURS IN MY SPACEBOOK
SIT RECLINED AS STARS PASS WITH STRANGE CLOAKS
ADORNED IN GEMS, WHEN HE BARELY EVEN KNEW ME
SAID " SEE WHAT YOU SEE; AND DO WHAT YOU DO"
BUT IF YOUR DESTINED TO FAIL, ITS ONLY WHAT WAS EVER TRUE ...
A MOMENT OF SERENITY I PAUSED FOR JUST A SECOND
AND MY ENEMY, LEFT A GASH IN MY MID SECTION
THERES A TIME FOR PRAYER, AND A TIME FOR WAR
TWENTY THREE AND THREE QUARTERS OF THOSE I HOLD MY SWORD ,
AND FUCK FOR 15 MORE, LEAVING VERY LITTLE TIME FOR THE LORD
LOOKING TO THE SKY AND NOTHING MORE
LIVE A LIE LIKE AN OPIATED THEIF INSIDE THE MORGUE

INKED ON MY BODY, OCTOPUS MIS-AN-THROPE
MISSING LINKS IN A MISSION OF A PHANTOM HOST
RAISE A TOAST TO THE ONE AND ONLY PHARAOH
THE DWELLAZ STAND EQUAL ON ALL STRAITS AND NARROWS ->
LOVE IN MY HEART LIKE A WARM BOWL OF RICE
PITCH-GGRAINS CAUGHT TWICE WORD MY BROTHAS IZ NICE
