15887, Capitol Hill

American Democracy
American Hypocrisy
One in the same
A tired old game
Where wolves play sheep
And say they are
What they claim
Not!
To add more stew
Into the pot
They also claim
To use the mop
Another lie into the lot
Of cars parked
Where I wait still
For janitors to serve
On Capitol Hill

This was.. well, let me elaborate before I even begin.

This was a well thought out piece. You obviously didn't just sit down and say.. well heres some words, let me see if I can make them SOUND deep, because this IS deep. I'm not gonna call you Saul Williams, but I will say this was definitely on the same level as a lot of the best I've ever read, or heard.

(Don't get TOO much of an ego boost, because I've only read the poetry my fiance has given me, and DefPoetry Jam on HBO, so I'm not the most well-versed scholar on the subject.)

This was a dope piece, my friend. It hides complexity behind simplicity... I don't know if anyone else agree's, but to this, I say--

Archive it!
