OPEN MIC FEATURE #2


"The Ogliarchy Always Ends" written by Vulgar

I’d forgotten what it was like to wade through marketplaces
Another morning in August ought to be placed in songbird cadence
was it all worth it…in exchange for hellacious inauguration?
This nation of solemn faces, tent pole monarchs disarmed and graven
bloodline compartmentalization left 'em huddled like startled ancients
Squeezed for every cent in debt on deadly whim for some petty bricks
I find things in common with repenting Russian czars, the Serengeti prince
living above where the levees drench the valleys & the servant's buildings
In a castle built by subservient siblings, brothers in arms, emerging children
seems I could no longer curb the feeling - threw a rope over
latched it’s rungs thinkin to myself I'm just an average chum
I escaped from the castle walls like the disillusioned elitist I had become
You see, I live a half life in a dark coven with tattered robes
A christened drab ambrose that glistens like timeless manifolds had risen
Our lives are too rife in this ruckus - diamonds encrusted in grandiose positions
Mother nature's panty-hose are missin'
though Saturn’s glow is distant, it contributes to the last imposed ellipsis
Me being glad to own the kingdom is in the past, a woe, unholy tempest
Allow me to blast this "noble" image while I harass the classic low percentage
I’m ready to trade in my crown, my throne, my mittens
My gold provisions, my goal, to visit a place of bold resistance
To take a humble path. Atonement for my lineage -
Even Castro knows his limits... don't pass the coca
I'll be a casanova, perhaps tending to pastures of Roman women
leaving behind what dictatorship entails, as the plague of quick labor grips the frail
Thousands just died yesterday cause there were invading raiders in the wells
had the thirsty citizens known of the wine at my table? They’d rebel
I’m considered as sacred as the grail - a rich fucking traitor infidel.
A false king among his own people, beggar of approval, leading panicked roosts
but the leader IS an animal, and the facts we teach would sadden you
Mass psychology manipulation via bread, crumbs & the yeast compatible
I found God but didn't need to seek sabbaticals
A sheikh’s pentagonal shield is radical as bishops work nursin' the world’s current
demands for sterling burden the dirt merchants and the worst verdict?
thenstead of mouths to feed, they'll say "It's cheaper to just offer them church sermons"
I’d consider myself a learnt person, a shepherd converted to an equal now
feeling under the weather beneath a teeming stream of Middle eastern clouds
The suffering in their facial features seems to bleach the crowd, I see it now
I’m feeling like an evil count with a Ouija board, fiend of the doctrine
gambling like King Theomach did to be on the streets as a prophet
From this day forth I, Lord Status Quo will dive into a sea of souls
Hegemony is no more, tell the royal leige of old they can keep the scrolls
After preaching my psalms through lands of sweeping gold...
I’ll become a common man with peaceful home, where trees can grow
remember those strolls through halls of judgment when I was talking slick?
I traded my imperial scepter for a walking stick -
I traded my dynasty's wings for the holy book, seraphim for kabbalists
Now I pray to Elohim's accomplices in a cottage lit by kerosene & hostel wicks
re-establishing myself as an authoritarian of the right breed
throughout my mind's territory
to spread the good word:
for a fair regime of consciousness.


What the readers are saying....

Split- "I thought this was cool... quite the sweeping epic."

Genocide- "Bout time the god arrived."

Sharp Nine- "This lived up to the high standard set by seeing Vulgar attached to an OM. The construction of the piece is all there and more. I really dug the perspective you took, definitely felt out of the ordinary...."

Camp Bell- "....the way you wrote this was more amazing.... the vocab was very intelligent and well used."






A Word From The King

As you already know, some fresh features are added to the league. Aside from conferences/divisions, an in-depth rankings system will also be featured. This will not take place until around week 4, when title & contender matches begin. You can catch the breakdown of the rankings every week in the magazine when it kicks off. There is another system that will be implemented, but this will be based solely on the activity of the league. Think of it as a back-up plan in the case that the division system we have now goes out of wack. In any case, participants will not have to worry about the league tanking in the event that the current system doesn't work. Activity is solely based on your participation, so the more you participate, the better the league will run. Remember to sign out if you will not be dropping in any given week. It's better than a no show. We all know that voting is key. The faster votes are done, the smoother we can transition into the next week. You don't have to write a novel of a breakdown, but please, give a thorough explanation. Every writer likes to see how readers feel about their pieces.

That's all for this weeks word from the King. Any new updates, you will be notified. Holler.



PRESEASON TOP 10 RANKINGS:


1. dead man

The rankings wouldn't be right if this guy was not sitting at the top. With Vulgar not yet signed into the league, it seems as if the dead man has all the doors open to winning the championship. Seriously, the only competitor I see being a thorn at his side is the Cakester, other than that, it's duck season. One of the most polished writers to grace the net, it seems as if Black is motivated- HIGHLY motivated to sweep the season. And a motivated Black is extremely scary. If he could avoid no shows or slacking off, I see him possibly going undefeated. Who knows who else will sign during the season, but Black has all the tools to handle business. Now let's see if he does just that. Could win 10-11 matches.

2. cakecakecake

While NYC (HelloKitty) is one of my favorite writers when it comes to flow/delivery, this guy Cake is something else. He will no doubt be a tough match-up for anyone & if there is anyone out there who can give Black a run for his money, it's this guy. It's very hard for me to picture Cake losing this season unless he no shows. The main question is will he participate consistently this season? He can easily take the crown if he has that drive to do so. His division is pretty stacked but the way to the crown lies on his road. Will Cake be the undisputed champ? I believe so. I see him making the finals. And he's one of the battlers I think can win all his matches. Could win 10-11 matches.

3. Genocide

The Great Adolf (how ironic?) once again is back at it & if there is one guy who is very motivated to prove the critics wrong, it's this guy. Geno is coming off that recent loss to Tyson in the BA & he is looking for redemption. It is clear that he is one of the better writers & at his peak, can contend with the upper echelon. He is also one of the more consistent writers & every drop he has never lacks in entertainment value. Geno is looking to not only win some title matches but also looking to be crowned the undisputed champion. The road will be a tough one but if this fire he has stays aflame, we have ourselves a huge threat. Could win 9-10 matches.

4. Split

For Split to be this high in the preseason rankings, some would probably say I'm out of my mind. But Split is a sleeper & he fared very well in the netcees topical league, proving he can match up against anybody. This season will be a major step into the spotlight if Split can continue his ascension, which I feel he will no doubt be able to do. Can he contend against dead man & Cake? We will know soon. Don't let the glasses fool you. The kid can write. Could win 8-9 matches.

5. Frank

Frank is one of the most creative writers in this league & when he is on, barely any can match. The main issue with Frank is how motivated is he to write? Tends to no show & other times, writes average drops that leave the reader scratching their heads. Is Frank motivated to make a run for the crown? Witty is his biggest competition in his division & Rawn can even be a problem. If Frank can be consistent, he can no doubt take it. Could win 7-8 matches.

6. Witty

Very skilled at this craft & can tell a great story. There is no question that Witty can hang with the best. He's been doing it for awhile. Question is how will he fare against the top tier & how far can he go this season? Opens the up against Cake. Makings of a classic, but if he pulls it off, look out. Could win 8-9 matches.

7. Tyson

To all of you up & coming writers, this is the guy you want to follow. Tyson started out as an aspiring writer & has leaped up there as one of the better writers in the league. He pulled out a win against Genocide in a BA topical match, so he can contend with the best if he brings it. Do not sleep on him. Could win 7-8 matches.

8. HelloKitty

One of my favorite writers. Has a habit of no showing or lack of participating but hopefully this season here will be different. NYC can be a threat to anyone. In one of the weakest divisions in the league, I believe the SPITZ can rack up a lot of wins this season. Darkhorse for the league crown. Could win 9-10 matches.

9. Mic Wrecka

Mr. Mic is one of those under the radar guys. His division isn't too difficult, but if he really wants to make a name for himself, a victory against Genocide during the season would be a good statement. Could win 7-8 matches.

10. Nigma

Could win 7-8 matches if he brings a solid effort consistently. An improved writer with great potential. Division is pretty tough with Split & Cake there, so it will be interesting how he does against elite competition.




Alright y'all, that is all for our first edition of the Writers League magazine. Hope you enjoyed the read. This season is looking to be very dope & probably is THE best league on the net right now. Shoutout to Split & Geno for putting the word in for me to help mod the league. Shoutout to all the participants, I hope you all are active & anything you'd like to suggest, the mods are all ears. Til the next edition of the magazine, it's the King signing out. Holler.
