Glass Houses

Glass Houses

A Poem by Thomas B. Buckman

This glass house society
black balled propriety
can't prove em wrong?
Make them wrong
pull a stunt
get crazy.

Tell lies
Spread hate...
Step 1: Demoralize
Step 2: Exacerbate

All we do now is sit and wait.

Anger traveling like a zepplin
this fire goes out of control
We can go down like the hindenburg.
just forget those golden rules
kick him in his f****n' jewels

Gonna get him for all he's worth

Gotta have it now
Gotta see it now
Gonna have a cow
Just give it to me now

This glass house society
gonna make you crazy
This glass house society
sure makes you seem lazy
You try and ponder on the things you've done wrong
All you get is the blame, the fame, and the deals done all along

You cant stop this informational heat wave
Coming to watch you get beat, babe
Theyre coming for your advice,
And they will leave with your soul.

This glass house soceity,
black balled propreity. 

Take it if you can get it.

Very nice. I love that term "black balled propriety." Couple of questions, though. Do you mean "exacerbate" which is to make things worse than they already are? Also, when you refer to the zeppelin as fast paced that doesn't really fit since they move slowly. Maybe you could replace fast paced with something else so that you don't have to totally scrap the zeppelin imagery, which is good in my opinion. Just a suggestion.

i agree with the preceding comment about this being somewhat musical...i do not see it as a rap as in hard core but more of a slow rap...with a nice beat make you think type of thing....i really enjoyed this! the flow was just so rhythmic...was this on purpose...if so, good job...if not, well good job anyways...

Hey, pretty fancy job there, sir!! :P Actually I liked this piece...kinda intense. In my head I see it as rap. Was it meant to be? If not, it sounded good, and I'm not even a rap fan! ^.^ I look forward to reading more from you!
