"THE BEAST"

A BIRD CAGED CANNOT FLY..DEEP DOWN INSIDE IS WHERE THE BEAST PRESIDES..IT WANTS OUT, BUT CANNOT BE..FEARFUL OF WHAT WOULD HAPPENED TO THE OUTER SHELL OF THEE N THE PEOPLE THAT
SURROUND HIM..LOVE LONG AGO ONCE CROWNED HIM..THEN LEFT AS THE FLESH
BEGIN TO WEAKIN..HORRID SIGNALS LIKE A BEACON, SENT STREAMING THROUGH
HIS SOUL..PAST MEMORIES HAVE A HOLD OF WHAT COULD NOT BE MADE
WHOLE..FRIENDS COME AND GO AS THE SEASONS CHANGE WHILE STRONG WINDS
CONTINUE TO BLOW..SMILES BECAME LESS N LESS AS HE CONTINUED TO GROW..HE
LOST HIS LUST FOR LIFE ENVISIONED N TORMENTED WITHIN HIS OUTER
GLOW..NATURE TAKES IT'S COURSE AMONG PATHS THAT ARE TRAVELED..UNRAVELED
AS THE DARKNESS COVERS THE LIGHT WITH EACH STEP..THE OUTER CIRCLE IS
CALM WHILE THE INNER BEAST CREPT..FUTURE GRIM N STRANDED ABOVE THE RIM
BECOMING NUTZO LIKE SHEP..MANY NIGHTS THEY WEPT..PRAYING THE DAY WOULD
COME WHERE THE SUN COULD BE SEEN, AND SINS COULD BE CLEANED..GREEN! IS
THE ONLY COLOR THAT REALLY MATTERS TO ANOTHER..WORLDS ARE SMOTHERED IF
IT LACKS ANY HOUSEHOLD BROTHER..OUR MOTHERS, SISTERS,WIVES, AND
BABIES..LIKE 2PAC/"KRAZY"

THE BEAST IS AWAKEN ANY TIME HIS CIRCUMFERENCE IS SHAKEN..OR DEATH HAS CLAIMED A LIFE THAT IS TAKEN..FORSAKEN IN THE FORMATION WHEN HEARTS ARE
VACANT..BEFORE THEY WAS BORN, COULD IT BE??? HISTORY WAS IN THE
MAKING..OR ROADS THEY PURSUED WERE NEVER STRAIGHTEN, TUNNELING DOWN THE
BASIN..SUNLIGHT SHADOWED BY A RAISIN..TALKING WITH DEAD MAN WALKING..

MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS..STANDING AT THE EDGE OF THE LAKE..HE STARES AT THE REFLECTION OF HIS FACE..ROCKS THROWN! RIPPLES THE WASTE ..OPENING
FLOODGATES OF THINGS LOST THAT HE SEARCH FOR LONGING TO BE REPLACED..THE
CHASE WAS ON!..WHO WILL LABOR AS THE PREY ONCE THEY ARE EXTINCT AND
GONE??..FROM DUSK TIL DAWN..THE BEAST SOLDIERZ FORTH SHOULDERING A TON
OF REMORSE FOR UNFORGETTABLE CRIMES N INFIDELITIES..GOD KEEPS TELLING HE
THE ANSWERS LAY WITHIN HE..BUT THE SERPENT IS ALWAYS PRESENT,
SLITHERING IN THE DESERT WAITING TO ATTACK..FESTERING WITH THE BEAST TO
RESORT BACK TO FOUL TEMPTING ACTS..THE GOOD VESSEL TELLS THE BEAST TO
RELAX!!!..ALWAYS THINK BEFORE YOU REACT..ALWAYS A TUG OF WAR BETWEEN
HEAVEN N HELL..DR. JECKYL MR HYDE/ANDRE HARRELL/THE VIOLENT NATURE OF
THE BEAST BEGINS TO SWELL WHILE THE "GOOD SON" USUALLY GETS HUNG TRYING
TO EXCEL BUT PROPELLED! N FUSED WITH THE BEAST AS WELL..JOINED LIKE ADAM
N EVE AT THE HIP/DISOBEDIENCE TOWARDS THE CREATOR/NOW WATCH AS THE BOMB
GOES OFF N THE 2 ATOMS SPLIT..FRUITS FROM THE TREE THAT NEVER WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE TOUCHED BY THE HAND OR CLUTCHED WITHIN THE FIST..LIKE THE
SEPARATION OF MOST MARRIAGES FAILING TO COEXIST..UNABLE N UNSTABLE
MURDERED OFF AS CAIN DID TO ABEL..AFTER JUDGEMENT IS PASSED I PONDER HOW
MANY WILL BE LEFT BEHIND IN HELLS KITCHEN FOR ETERNITY BURNING LIKE
WOOD TABLES..AS OPPOSED TO BEING 1 OF GOD'S MANY ANGELS CORRALLED IN HIS
STABLE'S...
