~AOWL Season Five Best Verses~

**In no particular order other then weeks 1-15**

But, we’re no match, they have giant battleships
Equipped with behemoth cannons that breach our palace.
My whole family has disappeared underneath the madness,
The pile of ashes that are steeped in sadness

A verse about Chistopher Columbus and the other whites, a detailed saga about the plague of the Indians.

Honestly, does this ever bring sorrow to your heart?
If today doesn't suit your vision you'll take tomorrow all apart
If I could tell you how I feel through the language that I know
I'd tell you I was full of joy 'til you brought hatred to my soul
I feel like you're a man that sleeps & dreams of all his pride
But this anger that I feel feels like thunder screaming from the sky
& the shouting doesn't stop, you're a cancer without a cure
All I can do is wait & say a prayer - For all pain we will endure

A story about Indians and turmoil the white settlers brought over.

Between the concrete cracks they plan there escape
Towards the sun and out a brittle landscape
enduring the hurt that brings them grief.
But theres only but so many chances to take defeat
Digital casinos paving grass into c-notes
Wishing the trees grow eternal coast to coast
But always betting against the odds.

A verse about trees symbolizing nature and fall as a season representing mankind and how only nature will live after humans ruin life and die off.

lived the times when Egypt was still gleaming in gold
i seen the rise of hell and all the demons it holds
and i've seen Orions Belt utop the Giza Plateau

This verse bounces around where Nigma is just playing the part, either death, life or god as a character. Masterfully penned. Truly is.

But, in my proprioceptor despair, I couldn’t sense anything there
All spatial dimensions were impaired, and death is certain if you’re off by a hair!
So, I fell and miss… Those close enough could hear my cervical snap
Talk about a terminal dance, huh? Go ahead, at my expense, have a personal laugh.

A verse about a tight rope walker, a trapeze artist? Who dies in gory detail. Some fine writing where GC started with the death.

And thus, "England Prevails" the same as a ship with the wind in its sails
propeled by a lie, assuaging the course
thus they fell into binds with the raging divorce
of hatred and force, no refrain or remorse
only swing stories and fabrication maintaining with force.
An image of prosperity, reanimating a corpse.

A verse about V for Vendetta where UR wrote about politics and government and did so while weaving a story in rather fine fashion.

Originally Posted by Asylum

Taking hold in it’s black soil, ashes and acid rain,
Inside plastic, pollution, what’s the solution to the human spirits unending pain?
Rebirth. While our eyes see hurt, our souls have seen worse.
It’s between the two we align our minds to find our purpose,
And climb past the glass ceiling, without ever scratching it’s surface.

The Spirit was strong in this one. Sy wrote a verse about an aching city and life and rebirth and death, simply penned, solid writing.

anything loose. then whiplashed the jeans versus her hips.
a melancholy refrain. then another subservient flick
into the washer. she'd wait right beside.
a naked, biding time. a wicker hamper for seat,
her toe tapped to a beat. eyes off in the window,
looking awfully widowed as he sat in content.
the cycle would stop in an instant, to break her stare.
changing to the dryer,
the absolute utmost weight she'd bear.

A verse about a mother who lost her son who still does his laundry and other tasks. This was simply put, writing done at a very high fucking level.

All I can say is if there is an afterlife where spirits linger
Be sure to give whoever in charge there the middle finger!

A verse where the world is ending on Live Television, the main character is Barney on some CopyPat type skill level. Solid verse. Memorable concept.

Originally Posted by Clutbuck

“I’m making sure my life has a meaning,”
“By dying!?” I pleaded for my friend to see sense
“By trying,” he reasoned.
“Remember me, friend.”

A verse about Ants and populating and following orders or not. Anarchy wins out, kudos.

Hell I've seen the fallen angels, must assume there's risen devils.
Saw the blizzard settle, now I'm resting since my breath is fading.
Slept to see the blemishes invented from the quests I've taken.

A verse about a lost soul and lost mind, This was a somewhat memorable concept before re-read, so it must be good.

Originally Posted by YDK

These are the reasons that the leaves have all fell.
Released every season, each leaf is a bell
Beckoning "come forward" each crunch is compelled.
Memories of myself have been repeating for 5 years,
So when autumn replaces summer I remember, you died here.

YDK wrote a vivid and imaginative verse about seasons and change and just did so in pristine fashion. Probably a top five of the season for me.

I ask that the Gentleman of the jury, accept my apology, let's get this adjourned'
I should’ve never asserted myself over you by stripping you of your insignificant worth
AOWL MODERATOR is never granted, It is earned

As for the pigeon, it went on with its search

Because this apology letter never made it –

you just got shitted on by the verse[/b]

I don't think I need to explain much here, but I do assume this was directed toward me mostly, but partly toward Split 8, either way, catchy verse that deserves props. Rest your bones my friend, see you in the Winter Topical.

Fastening forever, set to speak the past of all existence
Saw what's written, I like to read. The day it's wisdom climbed in me,
The ticks been in my hands, its like there's lime disease inside of me

A verse about reading and the travels. Nigma also fit in movie scenes, thus, the hands of time were birthed.

I watched the Driving Instructor get towed away.
The rear lights in the blizzard like two Rudolph's going to chase him
Jack Frost never did get this drivers license

A verse about a drivers test where Jack Frost is born, a frozen young boy.

Thought, "I'll log into Red Glare and bring the title home.
Might even battle myself with two flows of a tidal cloned."
Forever left his integrity at the door but let his spinal roam.
Picked at the skeleton in his closet until the final bone.

Do I really need to say anything else? Dope verse, better concept, and best four lines ever right there.

Originally Posted by spoken

He sold his soul to his worshipper and never turned back,
A sergeant in his platoon but had forgot he was a dad.
A husband, a friend. A human being at that,
Suffocating himself till it all fades to black.

A war saga that was penned purely in a poetical tense, I thoroughly enjoyed this verse, this battle was my favorite of the season I think.

Originally Posted by EtH

As men fall to the floor, each of them relatives
In danger, I stretch out to yell and point
But am held back by my under-developed voice
With my mother by my side, I’m never left alone
She whispers into my ear, she’ll never let me go

A war story where a mother is killed in the middle of a war holding her infant, touching shit.

Originally Posted by EtH

The air thickens, gravity pinned down by the kiss
I was honestly lost, at the border we crossed
A lip locking peninsula of strawberry gloss
A once depressant adolescent, now earth was pleasant
Gently, she held my hollow hand and transferred her essence

This was a dope verse plain and simple, I don't think I need to say much given the quote. Fine writing.

Originally Posted by GodComplex

I was away for so long I missed your development.
You went from microscopic amoeba’s,
To having an actual physical skeleton!
But, I see you poison yourselves with quasi-spiritual medicines;

This was a dope verse, one I missed out on through the season, must have been slacking. A verse about us, or them maybe, either way, this shit was dope through and through.

Originally Posted by MMLP

with both feet on the ground things kicked into gear
a king would be crowned and begin a career
as it quickly appeared the full package had came
bringing them fear in just a matter of days

A verse about Messi will always be one of the best in the season.

Originally Posted by Witty

Often I fall in love, but there's rarely a happy ending
Indulge in reality, then I'm immediately back pretending
I soared in the air like an eagle, and fell to the dirt
Had a sordid affair, lost my love, by hell did it hurt
I've created works of art, admired the world over
Carried the weight of the sun, atop my burned shoulders
Escaping is addiction, stay on it too long and you get hooked
Cuz when this fantasy ends...I'll just move on the next book.

I think this exert sums it up quit clear. A top five of mine overall easy.

Originally Posted by Witty

The games are almost complete, no more appeals or delays
I stare over the crowds, in to the fields, in a daze
I'm ready to go, and put an end to this show
Will I burn in hell, or be reborn with a heavenly glow?
I face death with a warriors soul, that I'm proud to give
Just one more letter to go...

...Wait

He guessed the letter, got the word as a whole.

I'm allowed to live!

This verse was a story that was told crystal clear, top notch writing here.

Emily groaned, as her Mother shook the thermometer, the silver mercury, jellington froze
She inspects the cold thermometer with perplex, in woe - When it explodes, metallic splatter freckles her nose
The Upstairs Bedroom Flickers from the sidewalk looking up... light bulb embers aglow
Mother looks out the window distraught, in discrepancies shadows
As a Priest walks up behind her offering sentimental console,

This quote does not do the verse justice, but as it was way over the limit I'm not reading, I just know the verse was fucking awesome all things aside.

Originally Posted by Asylum

The sorcerer forced out a loud cry through a throat that hungopen,
spraying blood from his gaping neck until he lay frozen.
The hungry Haitians numbly waited, trying to wake him patiently.
Until their stomachs ached so painfully, his flesh became a blossoming fruit,

What an image. A verse about voodoo and zombies of sorts. One of my favorites of the season, top 6 easy.

she started acting weird, was tested, peed, we seen the plus on strip
people always seeking ways to even up the dumbs they did
our breed has shown achievements, no ones speaking on the trust from kids
we started off as martians, now we're leaning on the mothership

Read this story, so well done it's scary.
