Hip Hop’s Elegy (Beloved Thugs #2)

BY AKILI

The dream has died of two equal parts:
1) degradation
2) stupidity.

Reborn in a place called Hollywood of two equal parts:
1) assimilation
2) material greed.

Where the trophy was hung on a wall
pale as a cloud’s belly!

Unable to stomach the new ‘pop’ recipe. The
patronage regurgitated the corporate engineered
hybreed, starvation and dehydration led to dis-unity!

Def, dumb, blind and scorched by the harsh reality
of usury,
the deformed dream,
refusing to die
is
now only a zombie
and
hope has become a disease.
The 4 pillars
the highest form of
fantasy!
