"Do
you speak the dialect,
The
Basolect and Mesolect?"
The
local patois, cries, for your respect.
It
calls to you, direct.
The
cause, you should affect.
Politically,
false, or correct?
Hypocrisy,
others detect.
"Will
you destroy, to build, you, architect?"
"Iconoclast!
Revolutionary! Alien!" they interject.
"Why",
says the establishment, "do you reject?"
"We,
only ask you, to genuflect."
"Then,
we, will give you the power..."
"Do
what, we will and, we, will give you powers.
Your
crude, creed, curdles and sours.
The
agenda, has always, been our's.
We,
call you, to respect our ivory towers.
We
don't disrespect and ask you to cower.
We
know, our might will, eventually, devour,
Your,
all, consuming, passion, deflower-ing,
In
a breeding ground, all around,
A
maelstrom, melted, poured into a mould, and bound.
Hercules,
is captured."
"Oh!
No! Your day, is done...
The
past, is dead, and gone.
Mine,
the rising sun.
My
race is still to run.
My
battle's waiting, to be won.
Your's, the headless chicken, still, macabrely, having fun.
Ivory
towers demolished with your ed-u-cay-shy-on,
Academia's
defeated don!
Behold:
the future cro-mag-non...
Time
for your hi-ber-nay-shy-on
I'll
be there, if you awake."
