    "Commercialized Eyes"

    Commercialize President eyes
    When you flash dead faces
    These eyes contain no traces
    Of the values they use to hold
    Today it all fits into the same mold
    Make more than the next man, even if it means
    Ending a life or cutting a relationship at the seams
    Crazy to me... but it happens all over the screens
    Look 't- SCREAM- I want to let loose
    But, I already see the noose these words will fall to
    Uneducated minds that don't want to know any better
    As long as they keep finding the cheddar in their hands
    They don't realize it will melt through their fingertips-
    In time... this rhyme may catch some sense with them,
    And even then, I feel it too late, for a corpse to understand.
    So, I stand. A lonely man, facing a world that feels the same way;
    If only they knew, could comprehend, or be made aware
    Of all the blank stares that commercial rap hypnotized
    At 160, swiftly, the crew went... dead, dead, dead- Biggie.
    And, Pac- why didn't you flaunt your intelligence instead.
    Now society lost you, and is still dumb, dumb, dumb in the head.

    Ignorant bitches, like Lil' Kim left in your wake
    These commercialized stars are so damn fake.
    Money, Power, Respect- so Kim spreads her legs
    Wide, to engulf the crimes- She empowers lil' girls-
    To go get made up, in young years- raped up;
    How does her POWER feel, now

    Commercialized eyes have hypnotized
    Young minds hold onto a broken record
    Re-re-repeating-repeating-repeating the same damn thing
    Until it catches on at a younger and more fragile age
    This cycle is tightening my stomach into a rage
    Can someone please stand up and end this hysteria
    Where people mock Eminem for spitting in a Black man's world.
    Of course, he's different, his words actually make you think-
    Stop- and smell the controversy- He pulls the issues forward;
    Gets outta da club and cars; away from the sex, drugs, and thugs.
    He provides lyrics that contain the missing link.
    Raise your signs in protest, but realize what hangs above your head
    You're raising the wrong fight, doing what he wanted you to instead-
    Bringing much attention to his issues, and that was a fist that hit you
    In your stomach, a mind is gullible when swallowed down so quickly,
    So stop and think! Attack the issue, not the man making it be seen.

    You're commercializing your protest, with hypnotized eyes
    March, march, march... chant, chant, chant- I know you won't go
    You beg to be seen and noticed; in it, just for the show
    Your as hypnotized as the commercialized rap you battle
    The problem is, you have written shit and look like cattle
    How 'bout spending some time taking productive action
    Instead of always looking for the other side's reaction.
    I'm sick of hearing roboticized lines in protests
    It makes my ears bleed, the sound, so damn grotesque
    Your results are as insignificant as your issues.
    How many minds are you going to misuse?
    And you think you're right to attack Eminem
    Who only tries to stay apart from them, and them, and them-
    Oh... LOOK! All fingers are pointing at YOU, and YOU, and YOU-
    Floating down the mainstream, your current is through!
    Take your ignorance to the next guy; I'm sick of your guise
    Only beginning to mask the lack of vision in your eyes

    Hypnotized by media glamour, chants trapped in clamor
    Take a seat and listen to some lyrics that will enamour
    Your mind, uplift and unblind your hypnotized eyes
    Let go for awhile, and let the spirit begin to realize
    All the energy that flows around you, let it surround you
    Enwomb you, like a tomb you can be in peace, realizin'
    Fearin' death is no way to win; will drive you to sin.
    Better to take a deep breath- take it all in-
    And face it! There's a lot more you don't know;
    It's not about the earning; it's all about the learning
    Lessons, I'm about to put you through
    To teach you, too, that these eyes are true
    They see reality and through it, too
    The next dimension
    Where your mind is awaiting like a pension,
    To use terms that you can relate wit',
    Your poisoned messages are making me sick

    That goes for commercialized hip-hop
    As predictable as Snap- Crackle- Pop
    Your dead; brain wasted from laced pot
    When will these 50 Cent thugs stop?
    Probably not- until they've successfully erased
    Every true hope, and left their culture maced
    Blinded by hypnotized eyes, trapped in lies
    About happiness within the bling- bling- bling
    Sidetracked by another hypnotic ring
    Which holds no solidarity in the end
    You're still dead my friend.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
