Black Destitute - I was reminded of a futuristic Grand Theft Auto-like virtual grid in which utopia is praised, therefore dystopia is seen as a sacred lost tradition. The Atlantis of a perfect system where accountability used to be seen as something of substance, and not measured by a 'sin' speedometer. The fluids of malicious genetics, spliced until they form ancient mirrors in our blood cells, reflecting the unabashed consequences of our unchecked deeds. A composition of matrix zeta-reticula statements positing your own views on the subject of predetermined fate. It's easy to be found guilty when an entanglement of veins masquerades as puppet strings - only to be revealed as puppet strings in the end. Full circle existential irony. Cirque de Sole Creator. All in all, this was a slick verse with a purpose in mind; hard to find any fault with.

we've justified for centuries, the symbols unchanged
placing D'jango in chains. Schindler in cylindrical flames
our only god is Judge. gavels lifted, prisoner slain
yet only God adjusts his gravel pits to filter the rain.
^S!ck.

Zyg Goot - Kool follow up to Black's thesis on determinism. The verse was more academic sounding in the beginning than I would have liked. Rhythmic scientific dissertations never hurt nobody but I like when alternate literary devices are implanted into the body of a piece to keep it from getting too grey and riddled with terms. This was well written, as was Black's. I felt like you took a step outside of yourself to 'merge' with Black's vintage style, making them coordinate together. There were interesting points made about freewill and also some of the paradoxes that go along with it. For example, you mentioned that life's choices are reduced to moral extortion - a systematic strangulation of what it means to do the right thing. The Ludovico Technique down to the DNA-level application.

terms and conditions are bonds stronger than metal
jam on the brakes and press the opposite pedal
the problem is settled, it’s simple to test.
is the mind one with the soul or is one possessed
like transplanted limbs that a system rejects
^Solid lines and construction.
