Western Christian logic. The mind to body narcotic.
It's nadir in forms of tonic. Ticking like a bomb. Can't stop it. It's all toxic. Coming out bibliographic, filling the Pastor's pockets. There goes the fall of the damned, all agnostics. It's escapism hooked on phonics. Some summer once; something from those Catholics. Some summer murder. Words and sense. Sticks and stones. And bones. And some summer murder tomes. Western Christian logic. Long ago left prophet Jesus for composite. Bent a hardened revolutionary into the oddest gossip. All that's promised, all that's honest: packaged into product. Gospel is now misty comet. Blasted into space by solid rocket. Man's relief is now a fantasy and off the earth. Bible and birth are now in a galaxy curve. Words and sense. Sticks and stones. And bones. This is how the Western Christian murders.

2triple0-
Reading your verse.... I didnt see anything in this verse that related to the topic... Your rhyme scheme ended in all single rhymes... And it felt like you were trying to battle in a TOPICAL battle... advice... try to add some multisyllables to your rhyme scheme and some inner bar rhyming.. and try to stick to the topic that is given to you... at least focus on the topic, cuz you will not win trying to diss your opponent in this league... unless you do it clever in a story based around the topic that is displayed Coup - Short and sweet... on the topic... showed a useage of rhyme scheme... great imagery... i agree with the your message in this verse as i am an atheist... i think western christianity has led to the dumbing of society... You write like my boy coup d etat :P... Anyways... Vote Coup.. Even tho it was short... his quality outshined triples quantity... And most importantly... Coup was on the topic |

Coup with a dope concept. It was a bit muddled, but I get the gist. Profiteering off Jesus, monopolizing religion= religion kills. You brought it full circle conceptually, you just spoke in darkness in terms of revealing the meaning of the verse. Good read, highly poetical and true.
Crip, I did not enjoy this verse. It read as a flex, which is cool from time to time, but two seasons plus of the same song is just that, repetitive and dull. V. Coup

2k - damnit 2k, write to your image! this is definitely an open mic or cypher piece.
Coup - hey this was a great piece, it definitely worked well with your image. I enjoyed this segment in particular, Western Christian logic. Long ago left prophet Jesus for composite. Bent a hardened revolutionary into the oddest gossip. All that's promised, all that's honest: packaged into product. Gospel is now misty comet. Blasted into space by solid rocket. those lines were a great transition from observation to assertion. great work Coup! very happy to see you back. the ending of your first stanza was impeccable as well. very direct work from you here, a change of tone from what I remember. but it has been a while, indeed! Happy New Year to you good sir. MVGT - Coup for writing to his topic, and doing quite well in fact. |

You're writing like the runt of the litter again, holmes. Don't disregard the topic out of pure ignorance. Take a moment to interpret it deeply and hone in on your coherent qualities. Lines like these demonstrate your distinct writers voice; Eg: "a site with no meaning as if it was sumn out of stone henge a lion in a den a fire from this depth of its origin coulda been a fierce warrior indian chief his land was vast big and wide and far and long ended up fading while they stood with an army forty strong so they entered the dwelling They decided these people werent ready for the ending there were still so many parts of this world we were forgetting everything end up just depending on its settlements as resourceful as these people think they are they decided if they were to start following the stars" This season I want to see you snap out of that jobber mentality and start approaching your verses with a sense of seriousness like how I quoted you above. Continue to compare with similes, like this, like that, like this, like that, but develop an encapsulating concept first. There is a certain gimmicky vibe that these type of verses give off; jestering around like a headless chicken waiting to be decapitated for the sole entertainment value of the readers. Never has there been, to my knowledge, across the net, a more easy pickings type character such as yourself. I mean, talking Nasif or PT got or ra ill. Characters who were known to lose and did so famously. I don't know, holmes. Shape up or ship out. Coup Probably one of the better voters around. Glad to have you aboard once again dropping knowledge. I picked up on the word summer sticking out. Struck me paradoxically because we're in the dead of winter. Strange how the seasons have such a drastic connotation depending on what season you're in while reading. I liked the reiteration of "Words and sense. Sticks and stones. And bones." Especially before the final line. Added a profound depth to an otherwise unlengthy verse. The premise was very strong. The flow was interesting, although not technical nor polished by any means, but it had purpose. Your interpretation of the picture was unique and provocative. Interesting in seeing your progression and how your style pans out against different topics. Voting Coup Thanks for the read

TRIPPLE - i dunno man, this was a painful read honestly.. not on topic, just way too off with no direction at all, poor interpretation of the picture, poor similes, just meh writing in general. its bad seeing this from you, for a dude who once beat Godcomplex, we all know you can be better than this dog..
COUP - on point man, pithy and poignant.. Western Christian logic. Long ago left prophet Jesus for composite. Bent a hardened revolutionary into the oddest gossip. All that's promised, all that's honest: packaged into product. Gospel is now misty comet. Blasted into space by solid rocket. ^^^^ my fav section, that was dope as fuck.. beautiful imagery and interpretation of the picture, props. vote COUP |
