The Spectacles

Original poetry

Putting on the specs
To see the spectacles
It’s expected though
Socially fermented dough
People are sceptical, oh
They only see the septic world, no?

Everything seems so critical
Where everyone appears cynical
Striking innocents surgical
Wiping meanings clinical
Tweaking noise’s decibel
To make it sound logical

Cooking lies by chopping the raw
Growing fear by watering the hoax
Labelling dope as the antidote
Scripting wars on the storyboard
Polluting zones with pure ego
Twisting hope to a deadly rope

  2. Well done my friend…you have touched on so many details of modern life, in the coolest hip hop ever.. I just can’t get enough of your rhyme scheme..I have read it now three times, 2 out loud and the rhyming, beat and rhythm is so catchy and so right-on. Love your play on words, your choice of words and underneath another level of commentary on today’s society. Fantastic and so much fun to read!!

  8. I really like the first stanza. It rolled off the tongue well, had good rhythm, and set the mood for the rest of the poem. Well written, and thank you for sharing Navin. 🙏
