A Poem by Hunter Zabbai

verse 1

nothing is permanent but nothings ever temporary
like a caged up canary calculating casualties in binary
scary though, articulate tremendous flows
what would the world be like if we all just smoked zones
now we gotta go toe to toe, erase that, press rewind
my eyes are blind from the great malignant light
if our sight could change, only in the right way
we would look to our blind spots, not only to what's hot
or giving a f**k bout who's coming out on top
if this ain't hip hop, then Biggie Smalls was a f*****g cop
and tupac smoked two packs of blacks and not sacks
blazing up, chronic, fucked up, i'm on it
what you might ask, i fill up my glass
for the world wide party epidemic, head of the class
always getting a*s, stacking money and fame
my brain leaks a strange wave of telepathic gramatics
systematic weaving of dramatic fabric, fanatics
of whatever is cheap, and t.v. without static
causing your a*s to sore, man what a bore, slacking
graphic metaphors that open doors, 
why don't you do your chores
and open yours?

verse 2

it's what we know, electro dough, debt filled up the crawl space
with much haste, ain't no backspace big enough to erase
the grave, at the end of the day, no ones saying hey
or even looking at each other, like where'd my brothers
mother's, i guess we're so different from each other
another page another ink cartridge
to print off postscript to procreate a para-tweeting-partridge
ain't no pear tree, america never free
the toll is hefty if ya lefty and too tight if ya right
unless you the ones on top,and you're stacking all the guap
and you know you'll never stop, until the goddamn bomb drops
i'm waiting for that moment, slow it, staring at the clock
until then, do what i can as the world spins
so many sins and has-beens and admins
administrative orders from the border watching hoarders
my dvr controllers, programmed by satellites to watch life
i bless my mind, as i look the the sky, and im high
better find a purpose i guess before i die
or go out trying, denying yourself of your life
but this world would rather have you living with a simple mind
about time people look beyond the burgers and fries
and what we consider crimes, you know they all lies
but believe the hype if you want a piece of the pie
sigh, profit over people, why? no one minds. 

Verse 3

so this is what it boils down to, no round two
too many tuesdays gone with the wind, again
There's a new trend that's about to start washing in
Watching them from a far distance, relentless
penniless police propagatin' an incarceration
vacation from the outside world, no girls
no stoner wreaking havoc to unfurl
connoisseur of thoughts, pot smoking in parking lots
ain't scared of jail, jonesing hard in a cell, rebel
anything to give those f****r's hell
I excel far advanced through the power of some plants
now dance, unbound, we're going downtown
the sound around is a marching playground
playful pessimism gettin' repped hard like feminism
bovine, or swine, time to dine, let me chime
in, begin, the end, we win, a cycle repeated
lathered rinsed and soaked in gold
wondering why are summers are so cold?
it's getting old, but i'm getting old too
too old to tell the difference from two, too
presidential tutu skating like a fruit loop
who's in cahoots? well who can we lose?
expendable dependable human resources abhorred
apprehend the apprehensive into the submissive
submission, never, try to listen, i'm not spiting'
i'm conjuring up something that's never been done
a world wide revolution to me now that sounds like fun
