THE PARABLES OF MAN


I sit upon the mountain top and overlook the city
There's an ocean of stars and below they seem so busy
Such commotion it's a pity how they choose to use their time
They're so focused on the pennies that they don't pursue the dimes
Although, each token is as worthless when compared to what is true
Like the feeling that's produced when the summer skies are blue
... Or chasing butterflies in June with your cousins at the zoo ...
... Until you come of age and you understand the truth ...
... Then you start to view the cage as in•hu•mane and cruel ...
... See life is but a school for the student and the muse ...
... An institute of elevation thanks to Buddha & Hey Zeus ...
While Cupid and Anubis stand as symbols of emotion
Such as love and devotion meant to shrivel up psychosis
Make some sense of the remoteness, bring the picture into focus
I don't know, if you know this, on the universal totem
Every spirit has a modem, thus suggesting a connection
To a neurological .. network so complex it makes up an avatar
Of which we're subatomic parts to the god we're living in
Like the cells inside our bodies unaware of who we are
Yet coexistence is contingent on an adam, who's in charge?
We are all the evening stars and we came from afar
The cosmic garden where we blossomed once a particle was sparked!
You should harvest food for thought it's nutritious for the soul
And brings solace to the heart! For the soldiers on the march
That forged their swords to spar with Mars, may you morally object
To any war that causes harm to the innocent and poor
Or forces tyranny abroad and for the spiritually absolved
I pray you all get involved for the sake of Brother Paul
"What of Satan and The Fallen?", well some angels were enthralled
By his vanity and awe and gave him aid to break the law
Thus they made a fatal flaw, but there's danger in each cause
So you better battle boldly or be mangled in the brawl
They may hang you from a cross near a manger made of straw
Tho that only kills the ego if your credo has resolve
The mosquito and the wasp both share the same goal
To evolve at any cost! Charles Darwin is at fault!
Cause 'Survival of the Fittest' is a theory proven false
We are merely just a moth that is drawn to a flame
In the memory of Thoth ... feel the chemical redraw
As I reel you off the sauce: a placebo that you bought
"I was feeble and exhausted with a fever and a cough!"
No, a sickness of the mind engineered to keep you caught
In a web made of lies by the spiders in your thoughts
That convince you that you're lost in a mental holocaust
Or the Synagogue of Sodom where the sinners are assaulted
Near the pillars made of salt! Scared to hear this monologue
...... Are the enemies of all and the military men .......
Who do fiendishly exalt pseudo tutors as their scholars
Whom may teach them how to conquer tho empires go impoverished
If they have no code of honor or enlightened holy prophets
Like the Poet and the Watcher whom may show them how to prosper
And turn oil into water or dry soil into tropics
Via spoils of a knowledge that has long been forgotten
By the royals and the gnostics; back when Moses was a shaman
To the pharaoh Tutankhamen I was shelling out the dharma
And dispelling all the dogma that rebelled against the conscience!
Tho the Devil is a charmer you should kick him in a well
As you yell "This is Sparta and this 'L' is for your karma!"
Settin' sail East of Hell without a nail in your armor
On a presidential pardon from Michelle and Obama
For the sale of marijuana cos the miracle of ganja should be shareable
And sponsored by a charity or Pharma, but apparently that's nonsense
... No one cares unless they profit off the therapy of Chronic ...
Ask the chairmen and the doctors or the taxmen in their pockets
... Politicians on the dockets, fuckin fascist economics!
In a colony of dummies no one rations out their money
All they do is shop and buy so why's it shocking when they die
Broke and bummy with no tie .. over luxury designs?
So corrupted by their pride that they can't stomach humble pie
Pluck the Sun right out the sky, then I plunge it in the ocean
Let it soak until it's glowless, in the hopes that I can show them
Golden trophies hold no bonus to a yogi in the lotus
With a halo over dome .. meditating on a poem
In a massive super nova where the gases might explode!
I should close this with an omen or quotations from Jehovah
But all I got is "Ohmmmm" as I wake you from the coma!

Well well,a totally ripe piece here that touches on many things but all relates to time
via events through history,and knowing time is nothing but an abstract the passing
of it means nothing,it's about what's taken from it within the moment,you also came
with the challenging prospective too via the social aspect,very creative here brother
man,and that rhyme scheme was mad ripe,really not easy to do rhyme mid sentence
and flow,so serious props there,the content/concepts were very well thought out,i
must say your nib rub is on point like a quill too,this was a long piece to view,but
quick to read if that makes any sense,besides the passing of time didn't matter as
i was pulled in from the outset,highly engrossing that via the piece's progression
left me wanting more (truth),in fact i'll go as far to highlight the intricacies due to
imagery and the moral compass,but where do i start?,as this piece is littered with
it through out,but in a subtle manner, tremendous read which i totally enjoyed....
RIPE..peace


You know I'm not being lazy when I say this,I would've broken this down,but the flow
was good and I didn't want to break it up..

firstly, thanks for re-posting. secondly, the original header was iller. I think it was something like poems from the watcher or some shit. I know the title was TPOM but anyway. LETS FUCKING GOOOOO!

dope opening segment. reason youre one of my favorite writers is because the content is the driving force. far too often cats focus solely on the scheme they forget the theme. never my spirit animal tho. the flow switch six bars in was nasty. I was reading like where is this going and then boom.. we bout to redpill the fuck out this shit. im onboard.

naturally Tony, havnt you ever seen Whos The Boss? anyway, do you really feel this shit Self? that the human experience is a learning tool towards something greater? its certaintly something I wrestle with. I view the planet (I know were talking human here..but bare with me) as this perfect place of harmony. everything has order and reason.. and then there is us. chaotic and different from any other species in our mentality. like dolphins can be assholes.. but they can be jovial too.. but you ever seen a dolphin with a pet sea lion? goes back to your zoo analogy.. but anyway. lets proceed. I like this piece tho, alot.

We are all the evening stars and we came from afar

So you better battle boldly or be mangled in the brawl

this is nice. it has a creationist storyline but also gives way to evolution in the start. a hybrid in a sense. I get lost in the wizard in the clouds bit, but youre painting a great narrative.

open the sphinx paw and it shall be remembered.… but yeah, I think were on the same wave length as a whole and this whole time I thought you were some flat earther lol (kidding). anyway Self, I hope this verse atleast makes one person go hrm. even tho you wrote it to let your mind relax for a moment, its a nicely worded piece thats message is good.

raw as fuck. this is why youre my spirit animal. you basically said in one piece everything I tried to say in two and I salute you for it...because you not only did it better, but you made it understandable & relatable to all while still being complex in nature. bravo kind sir and thanks again for posting my brother.

Bro, you and Juice got me wanting to get into a long philosophical conversation, but currently I'm on that 9 to 5 grind so I can't get as deeply involved as I'd like to in terms of replies.

Here's a fun fact tho:
That whole "spirit animal" thing you're always talking about is what inspired me to write the totem (pole)/modem line.

Anyway, thanks for the exceptional feed, fam. I'll come back later and answer some of the questions you brought up.

Glad you liked it. Peace.

this is that shit right there, son! this is why ur one of my fav!

FLAME!! this was a dope existential piece man. the different angles that was presented was dope. also love the religious/mythological references as well. i think, concept aside, i really dug the wording. its very...natural. like every word fitted perfectly without really sounding forced. Written of this magnitude (conceptually) usually suffers from forced agendas and ever more forced execution but this was def not the case. 

"By the royals and the gnostics; back when Moses was a shaman 
To the pharaoh Tutankhamen I was shelling out the dharma
And dispelling all the dogma that rebelled against the conscience!"

that callback rhyme scheme was dope, son! plus content was ill to boot. i really can't find any fault in this piece man. sorry i couldn't scribe anything for the collabo man, but by the looks of thing...i'd be well to stay away lmao! no worries, we've got plenty of opp, my dude. Squad up!

Like i said in the crew chat man, I had to read this a few times to appreciate what I was getting into.

Quote I sit upon the mountain top and overlook the city
There's an ocean of stars and below they seem so busy
Such commotion it's a pity how they choose to use their time
They're so focused on the pennies that they don't pursue the dimes 
Although, each token is as worthless when compared to what is true
Like the feeling that's produced when the summer skies are blue
... Or chasing butterflies in June with your cousins at the zoo ...
... Until you come of age and you understand the truth ...
... Then you start to view the cage as in•hu•mane and cruel ...
... See life is but a school for the student and the muse ...
... An institute of elevation thanks to Buddha & Hey Zeus ...

I like the observational approach to begin "lightly" into this piece. I say lightly in jest because the underlying tone of content is much, much deeper. I really enjoyed the compare and then the contrast of the view as a child and adult on the zoo. It was a real gem in the sense of reality and perception. 

Quote While Cupid and Anubis stand as symbols of emotion
Such as love and devotion meant to shrivel up psychosis
Make some sense of the remoteness, bring the picture into focus
I don't know, if you know this, on the universal totem
Every spirit has a modem, thus suggesting a connection 
To a neurological .. network so complex it makes up an avatar
Of which we're subatomic parts to the god we're living in
Like the cells inside our bodies unaware of who we are
Yet coexistence is contingent on an adam, who's in charge?
We are all the evening stars and we came from afar
The cosmic garden where we blossomed once a particle was sparked!

Okay, the metaphor your portrayed is fuckin' brilliant, yet effortless. The whole connection part was absolutely brilliant and delivered with a crispness. I will say, the connection ending bar threw me through a ringer. You were on a roll with the ending rhymes and then, as you can, disrupt that consistency to show diversity and control. I think the avatar and connection were so different sounding I struggled with it. The play on adam/eve/garden/sparked/charge was all very, very clever and executed highly.

Quote You should harvest food for thought it's nutritious for the soul 
And brings solace to the heart! For the soldiers on the march 
That forged their swords to spar with Mars, may you morally object 
To any war that causes harm to the innocent and poor 
Or forces tyranny abroad and for the spiritually absolved
I pray you all get involved for the sake of Brother Paul
"What of Satan and The Fallen?", well some angels were enthralled 
By his vanity and awe and gave him aid to break the law
Thus they made a fatal flaw, but there's danger in each cause
So you better battle boldly or be mangled in the brawl
They may hang you from a cross near a manger made of straw

So as previously stated you went back with the odd ball ending rhyme. This time it works! I try to manipulate too and cannot do it on this level in this stanza quoted above. I think it's because thought, heart and march are so similar sounding you disregard soul. With that said, one would suspect that object would be a sore thumb but you doubled the multi in the next line that made it okay. Kudos on that technique capability. The content, deeper than the beginning. I love this piece so far. That better battle boldly in a brawl had awesome alliteration. 

Quote Tho that only kills the ego if your credo has resolve
The mosquito and the wasp both share the same goal 
To evolve at any cost! Charles Darwin is at fault!
Cause 'Survival of the Fittest' is a theory proven false
We are merely just a moth that is drawn to a flame
In the memory of Thoth ... feel the chemical redraw
As I reel you off the sauce: a placebo that you bought
"I was feeble and exhausted with a fever and a cough!"
No, a sickness of the mind engineered to keep you caught
In a web made of lies by the spiders in your thoughts

Fuck my life. This part is my favorite of the piece so far. The theory of you comparing the insects to us and the resemblances without spelling it out is incredible. Your ability to illustrate metaphors is bar-none. Not only metaphors but valuable assets to your pieces, the topic at hand really delivers quality that is deeper than what you are writing. You make people think outside of your lyrics on what you are eluding to. It can be much more than what exactly you are conveying. It's really remarkable.

...... Are the enemies of all and the military men .......

Now you are bringing it full circle. PREACH.

Man, you wow'd me with this. That humble pie line hit me like a ton of bricks. I recently was going through something similar and unlike your reference, welcomed the humble pie. Sitting in a position now where I prefer the taste of it. I don't know what other people's feedback has been on this. But this clearly is HOF material. Your topicals are always in a position to be classics. From your cadence, multis contributing to valuable content. No missing links. This is something special man you have a grand talent. Put this to audio.

Thats the best compliment you can give a guy like me.

Thanks for the incredible breakdown my guy. I'm overwhelmed.

I'll definitely be dropping some comparable feed on something of yours come tomorrow. That's goes for Crim and Neek as well.

Salute.

I dont know where to start. You do what i wish to do. Alot of people will look over this because of the length. I just gotta say to all you lazy fucks that it takes 5 minutes to read. 5 fucking minutes people. Not a half hour of your time. 5 simple minutes. Anywho


Content - Fucking aye, this is some type shit i like to write and read. Full circled with philosophical imagery and impressive subject matter. When i get into zen like states, i usually will imagine what you have wrote in this piece. Nothing other than the now and the end matters. Everything else is just a waste of time to harp over. Its hard for many to grasp but its a great outlook on how to live life. I can care less about the negatives in my past and i know im just stardust that will go into entropy sooner or later. So why fill my little time here with negativity?

Techical shit - Well, i dont think i can say much. You are above 99.9% writers. You grasp flow, content, vocabulary, vividness and wrap all that shit together to create pieces like this. Im almost scared to read your next drop after a great one because i dont know how its possible you can out do yourself. Between you, chain and Ill Scriptz... its hard for anyone else to match this type of writing. You are a monster. Keep at it you wizard

I sit upon the mountain top and overlook the city
There's an ocean of stars and below they seem so busy
Such commotion it's a pity how they choose to use their time
They're so focused on the pennies that they don't pursue the dimes 
Perfect intro. Picturesque visuals with the bar alone, compounded and complimented by the slick wording and terrific wordplay in the second bar. 
Although, each token is as worthless when compared to what is true
Like the feeling that's produced when the summer skies are blue
... Or chasing butterflies in June with your cousins at the zoo ...
... Until you come of age and you understand the truth ...
... Then you start to view the cage as in•hu•mane and cruel ...
... See life is but a school for the student and the muse ...
... An institute of elevation thanks to Buddha & Hey Zeus ...
This whole section was amazing. Multiple mic drop moments. It's like you dropped it, acted like nah im playing, drop another hot line and drop it again. References and the way you transitioned them were top tier.
While Cupid and Anubis stand as symbols of emotion
Such as love and devotion meant to shrivel up psychosis
Make some sense of the remoteness, bring the picture into focus
I don't know, if you know this, on the universal totem
Every spirit has a modem, thus suggesting a connection 
To a neurological .. network so complex it makes up an avatar
Of which we're subatomic parts to the god we're living in
Like the cells inside our bodies unaware of who we are
Yet coexistence is contingent on an adam, who's in charge?
We are all the evening stars and we came from afar
Your end-rhymes were sacrificed for the sake of content here which is definitely allowable with the angles you took. Referencing transmission of consciousness to an AI platform and making some very thoughtful. Loved the 'spirit has a modem' concept in particular. 
The cosmic garden where we blossomed once a particle was sparked! 
You should harvest food for thought it's nutritious for the soul 
And brings solace to the heart! For the soldiers on the march 
That forged their swords to spar with Mars, may you morally object
Pause. Dope. Forged words to spar with the God of War? Damn 
To any war that causes harm to the innocent and poor 
Or forces tyranny abroad and for the spiritually absolved
I pray you all get involved for the sake of Brother Paul
"What of Satan and The Fallen?", well some angels were enthralled 
By his vanity and awe and gave him aid to break the law
Thus they made a fatal flaw, but there's danger in each cause
So you better battle boldly or be mangled in the brawl
They may hang you from a cross near a manger made of straw
Tho that only kills the ego if your credo has resolve
The mosquito and the wasp both share the same goal 
To evolve at any cost! Charles Darwin is at fault!
DAMN the flow, the transitions, slight adaptations not to mention the concepts you throwing in there. Great section.. REALLY wish it read 'Charles Darwin is our flaw!' tho, but still dohpedoehpehdpedhpdedohpe
Cause 'Survival of the Fittest' is a theory proven false
We are merely just a moth that is drawn to a flame
Survival of the fittest was good, really like the transition here too
In the memory of Thoth ... feel the chemical redraw
As I reel you off the sauce: a placebo that you bought
"I was feeble and exhausted with a fever and a cough!"
No, a sickness of the mind engineered to keep you caught
In a web made of lies by the spiders in your thoughts
Ahhh so consistent then has bombshell one liners like this tucked away.
That convince you that you're lost in a mental holocaust
Or the Synagogue of Sodom where the sinners are assaulted
Near the pillars made of salt! Scared to hear this monologue
Nuke killing it bro.
...... Are the enemies of all and the military men .......
Who do fiendishly exalt pseudo tutors as their scholars 
Whom may teach them how to conquer tho empires go impoverished 
If they have no code of honor or enlightened holy prophets
Like the Poet and the Watcher whom may show them how to prosper 
And turn oil into water or dry soil into tropics
Via spoils of a knowledge that has long been forgotten 
By the royals and the gnostics; back when Moses was a shaman 
To the pharaoh Tutankhamen I was shelling out the dharma
And dispelling all the dogma that rebelled against the conscience!
Tho the Devil is a charmer you should kick him in a well 
As you yell "This is Sparta and this 'L' is for your karma!"
Settin' sail East of Hell without a nail in your armor 
On a presidential pardon from Michelle and Obama
For the sale of marijuana cos the miracle of ganja should be shareable 
And sponsored by a charity or Pharma, but apparently that's nonsense 
Been consistent as fuck. The sparta line kinda felt colloquial but also had pow pow swag. You p much turned 3 lines into 2 in that last bar above, speaking the fucking truth in it tho, looks like we're starting to come around
... No one cares unless they profit off the therapy of Chronic ...
Ask the chairmen and the doctors or the taxmen in their pockets 
... Politicians on the dockets, fuckin fascist economics!
In a colony of dummies no one rations out their money
All they do is shop and buy so why's it shocking when they die
Broke and bummy with no tie .. over luxury designs?
So corrupted by their pride that they can't stomach humble pie
Pluck the Sun right out the sky, then I plunge it in the ocean
Let it soak until it's glowless, in the hopes that I can show them
Golden trophies hold no bonus to a yogi in the lotus 
With a halo over dome .. meditating on a poem 
In a massive super nova where the gases might explode!
I should close this with an omen or quotations from Jehovah
But all I got is "Ohmmmm" as I wake you from the coma!
Truly an amazing piece. I hold this in the highest regards. Glad I finally got around to reading it. Finished naturally. The buildup and the concepts and references and explanations made sense, were well thought out, and well laid out. You are a fellow Sensei of mechanics and brought content to a comparable level. Lastly, this was visually beautiful as well. That's all I gotta say. Salute!

The Grand Master has spoken. Appreciate the stellar breakdown fam. I was waiting on you to read this and I was hoping you would dig the mechanics and the content. I'm glad you did. Soon we'll have to join forces and drop some deep esoteric type of ish.
