In the Land of Cats - Hemlock Ernst free verse (prod. ('i's')) by Hemlock Ernst published on 2016-09-14T14:20:46Z [Original Track] = River Echo by ('i's') @n95-chris Blessings to ('i's') for hitting me with some tracks a couple weeks back. Got home from the road Monday and sat down to write. Written 9/12/16 - Recorded 9/13/16 No mix no master. Through the laptop mic. This one is for the cats. Human and feline. The Pablos, the Poches, the Nicks and the Jims. Rip. ----------- in the land, in the land cats close at hand move on to better lands heaven is that state of mind as the wind dripped through chrysalis my avarice buried the threats mysteries carried my mind swept away with the tides tinged mention my blindness only to find friends hoping for sympathy at times when i don’t believe in myself when i relieve from my shelf shells picked up now patronized monuments to times when i was searching to find merging my center uncertain with saviors i’ve been virgin with nature i’ve been assertive cuz i don’t want my spiritual fucked with the way that the body’s gifts get plucked quick and cherry’s pop on these cherry tops on blacktops we played ball like the world had stopped McCoy was the real when the key was at home around the world in a Tyner song while you was out coppin a feel I was down on the reel to reel when you was out huntin a deal i was down on the reel to reel i was down on the reel to reel how you feel so i tried to put it on the paper better tried to make it redder put the passion in the letters i just wanted it to last forever you lose a friend every time that you can’t break a tether and we ain’t free at last or free and lost and freedom’s cost is freedoms path and life isn’t free but it was given to me so now i’m given to you the bit that’s thickening me hard hearted now it’s just like a prison to me and why the cage bird sings because it can just that thought…it’s like a religion to me but what is god if they taken bodies, before they meant to be feel like i been here a century the past 8 months felt like 8 years sitting thinkin bout it recounting old loves and new fears and 2016’s just disappeared then again, it’s almost new years Comment by chapo Underated 2019-01-25T04:52:54Z Comment by SCŌTT XYLO!
