I Curse The Mic…
…that broke my virginity
and made me realise my vanity
broke a hymen of truth into ceaseless fluidity.
Now I’m rockin’ the mic with my hand
saying things I sometimes don’t understand
ears and applause I always seem to demand
action I fail to command
like horror turned to comedy
in search of a punchline
my deaf words fall on eager ears
but wait…
are these ears ready to face their fears
it seems I have to go through the sugar-coated froth
to get to the bitter express-o
this is why I curse the mic that broke my virginity
coz ears are so ready to censor words
truth, truth, truth
a curse to you and yet another curse
I’d rather sit in verse
than have people applaude
when I conjure senseless words
in attempt to flow
I try to sew together mellow-word nips
of colourful yet meaningless phrases
and vomit them through my lips
You’ll even hear me trying to rhyme
to get your attention
Make no mention
of the fact that in time
I’ll turn into a senseless mimic
when ears start to wander
and I go into solitary orgasm
screaming into the mic LOUDER and LOUDER
while ears get deafer and deafer
And then I’ll take the mic away
this time when I say
I curse that day
that mic broke my virginity!
