Hi Def


At times, hi def hides death

I'm sitting idle, watching american idol while my mind idles, mentally idolizing the concept of idols that blind followers follow when their minds are borrowed, then hollowed by the Harley throttles, Ciroc bottles and promises of models who swallow, lies. 

Lies that compromise real eyes. Real eyes that should realize the real lies beig spewed forth from the media, its remedial how easily influenced ee are by its whims and quips. Not particularly involving whips and chains but we're still slaves to the whips and chains the rap game displays

We're trapped in a thunderstorm where the raindrops will leave you brainwashed into thinking that the pain stops after fame, or that making a soul deal just for some sneaks and a sole deal is the sole way to gain anything. This is why we see more black rappers than doctors, this is why the ideas of abortion and adoption are more common than receiving a doctrine.  If you still need proof to confront these fears just picture the youth over the past few years

Nicki Minaj has made bisexuality a hype style, rather than a lifestyle

Wiz Khalifa makes it cool to be high every day, everywhere

Chief Keef facilitates young black violence

And Rihanna has too many girls thinking they look good with red hair

No, I'm not demonizing any of these persons, but personally I'm tired of picturing persons pursuing a superstar's persona, it's like they wanna be wannabes

There's no need to be picturesque to picture the mess the tv has on our brains as it rains its remedial media meteor shower on our necks, and its a stretch to flex about your intelligence when its evident that 90% of what we see on tv is irrelevant. 

Now this is not a revolutionary, anti television plot

Just a poet trying to get his audience to realize what's real & what's not
