Tragic Verses

She was Tragedy
Spitting black flames
Of raw crack
Tearing the armor
Of the closed mind
With complex vernacular
So spectacular
Verbal resuscitation
While others were stuck on
Rhythmic masturbation
She found the truth
Magnifying it times a million
Screaming it up to the heavens
Where it bounced off God's right hand
Into the souls of every man
Tragedy
Homo-genius martyr
Not letting the labels stop her
From her divine mission
Turning the blood that flowed
From her open wounds into inspiration
Constant motivation
Mental titillation
To excite the senses desensitized
Breathing life back into humanity
Not just the word
But the entity lost in insanity
She saw not the portrait societal
But the reality, however volatile
Until her winged frame
Took a hit
And the bestial bullshit
She struggled to erase
Engulfed her entire being without a trace
Tragedy....
Where have you gone?
How we long for the lost melodies
Of your dagger-edged song...
