In a Picture Frame

[bornspokenword]

This was a topical battle verse...
In a Picture Frame

living a picture perfect preamble and disillusioned post-script starkness
this most hip scripture’s worthless when letters are crossed to ‘mark it’
but still, consumers buy the ‘x’ on this map of stock quotes
a lost hope in clause that kept John’s Locke broke
'jones-ing' for a Dowry, a new political Treatise to fix
my consumption doesn’t mark me like my fingerprints
this idiot box is.at.a.loss because I fought a legitimate cause
in parking lots with empty hands, representing what I bought
‘Just do it’, don’t ruin the empire built on the backs of humans
the sound of swift shopping carts inspired a trademark to use men
a subtle booing on the sideline from dresses hiss ‘shop or die’
and the truth is a lie from the religious right, which constitutes a loss of pride
so amongst the red, the blue and white stand out in a solemn nest
leaving reservations spread, sitting on Vegas land, seemingly collarless
foster this monotonous bliss that holds hands up to the abyss
this single event with regal intent is feeble, but a sequel intends
to copy history pages into news stories featured at 10
and truth will change affiliates once bound by honor
who proliferate gospel to keep the masses calmer
into skeptics who read Dan Brown and become history scholars
I’m sent to war to fight in a holy crusade
while patriots act at home and hide from a terrorist rain
so place a bow on this pretty package to keep the sacred scripture safe
scared, locked to window panes will keep this perfect picture frame

I’m still picking out the splinters from my escape…

[Truth.]

This was good, what more can I say?

Keep up the good work

[God.]

I liked it.
It had wordplay in it, which was cool, strange for a topical, but cool.
I thought you hit the topical well, but could have tied it better towards the end.
Make it seem more of a collective piece.
But I was feeling it, like I told you. Thought it was pretty dope.
Good job.
