    Our contractual demise, signed by the whine of a child’s cry
    Blind, I pass the last of the dead, lumped in a heap
    And weep as they feast on the blood of the weak
    The beasts that come from within those with souls like paper, so thin
    Possessing their minds, with lines on how life’s greater with sin
    They want me, they must dine on the fruit of their lust, and so
    I’m hung from earth strings - the things that move this puppet show
    Trapped in a box, locks secure, I can’t die, but I can’t breathe
    Ripping apart my mind and my heart, trying to get free
    These scars connect me to the stars – I shine from afar
    Blinded from power, a kind designed to devour,
    Widows sweep their husbands ashes, children leaking blood from gashes
    Dull thuds of lashes, tears mix with rain, while my mind’s puddle splashes
    Each man is the same, unity is formed by misery
    For in death we’re all the same, our hate is long gone – it’s history
    But I’m not down with regretting, or forgetting all these cultures
    So throw me aside to die….I’m ready for the vultures
    They pick apart every little bit of art, that I store inside,
    My skin is tore as I lie on the floor and hope this storm subsides,

    I feel her fingertips fade away, as I try to grasp, but she floats,
    In to the horizon, past the last of the boats,
    The sun beating upon my back, I stare wistfully in to space,
    And feel her grace, as her face leaves all fear erased

    The bubble bursts, as we laugh at his saliva covered shirt,
    He tries to mumble words, but his mind just fumbles first,
    He cries, but he’s not hurt, eyes full of sobriety and faith
    And I know, until I die, I’ll try to keep him safe
    I’ll show him life is a game, so just left-click, and aim,
    Shoot down your problems, and I know I might seem insane,
    But always remember to keep your pace,
    Good things come to he who waits
    There’s nothing that you need to chase,
    Nothing in this life is achieved with haste,
    Please embrace, enjoy this world, and drink from its roots,
    Live in it, don’t just drop by and sing when it suits,
    It will be your companion, your teacher, and your lover,
    Love, hold, and cherish, and this life won’t bring you under,
    I watch as your eyes gleam, your hair shines, and your mind beams,
    I go to kiss you….But I get dragged away from this wild dream.

    In My Mind’s Eye.

    Rain beats upon the cobbled streets, smog choking the air
    Moonlight shrouded in clouds, I come forth from my lair
    Some call me evil, because I'm taking this city, and curing it's pain,
    They judge me, call me a monster...but yet, aren't sure of my name

    All my life I've known my mission, it wasn't my own decision,
    A higher power delivered me, to cure evil and show my vision
    Life without temptation, a dream that decides my occupation
    I've been patient, working on my own to unite this nation
    Head down - I creep through the streets of this dead town
    Rain lashing my back, the scenes force on my face a sad frown
    Gripping my weapon of truth and power, I spot this cancerous demon,
    A soul so tempting to devour, begging me to release it from it's heathen
    Stalking my prey, I scope out an alley, discreet and private
    Where it can decay, people unaware of the beast inside it
    Seizing my chance, I grab it, it screams when I puncture the lung,
    And roars when I rip out the guts, that's it's last song now..it's done
    So I run, leave it's soul to God, and it's body for the morning sun

    I attend it's funeral, sickened by the grieving for this scum
    My stomach heaving, I leave, my brain battered, sore and numb
    Reeling inside, even in death it's evil deceives and corrupts,
    I must take another, tonight, one hasn't relieved me enough,
    So I creep, and I strike...another evil spirit leaving the night
    I see in my sight, God's face.....it's brief and it's bright
    He smiles, and blesses me...'I love you, I designed you specially
    To do my bidding, every demon that dies...impresses me '
    As I open my eyes, inside I'm free...as it lies decaying beside me,
    I smile at it, grab it's filthy body...and start flaying it wildly
    Once I'm done I walk away, happy I've done all that I can,
    Now my Father will look upon me...and he'll call me a man

    The media slanders me, branding me cowardly and lethal,
    Trying to make out those that I'm devouring are 'people'
    When actually they're evil, with demonic power, and deceitful
    Nobody but me can see through the eyes of The Lord that I please
    'Women' aren't human...they're a cancer, ever-growing, a disease
    Their shells can rot, I'll keep doing this, until the day I drop
    They name me Jack, call me evil...because I'm blessed...
    ...and they are not

    Freedom comes with sacrifice

    To ease the gnashing of teeth, and cease the lashings that beat
    From behind the walls of deceit, installing release with a line
    I hear the words call in my sleep, but I'm blind
    When I'm awake, standing tall on my feet - it's a sign
    Consciousness is overrated, dreams are where hope is naked
    We see them bare, trying to breathe this air could choke the sacred
    I'm a leader - scared, but with a potent cadence
    Glowing - fragrant, trying not to grow impatient
    Tho I feel like I'm dying, I'm sighing - and I'm so complacent
    Overblown and blatant ego decodes the latent soul that's vacant
    A little known aqquaintance from a different me that still exists
    But is never seen, it's filled with mist, the lover who killed the kiss
    It's smothered, I hid it away, so another instilled the bliss
    My world is falling apart, and I'm calling it art
    It isn't just writing, this is the pain forming a ball in my heart
    Thoughts are swarming where the demons crawl, and it's dark
    Sometimes I'm feeling tall, other times I'm weak and small
    Smothered by a life that would make any other guy cease and fall
    But I'm about to release the dog, I've just found the piece, the cog
    To make this machine heave and cough, before it kicks into life
    And recedes the smog, I'm leaping the tallest buildings in one bound
    What's up now? Now that The King is back, your mouth is shut?
    Wow...you spoke the loudest when my mind was full of clouds and stuff
    But I get it, now that I'm out, it's tough...lil faggot, fucking powderpuff
    I thought you might have something to say bitch, you run ur mouth enough
    Now you're wandering about like 'fuck', I've got that thunderous clout
    You aren't about nothing, you're a punk with a pout
    See I can be the poet, the dumb guy, and the funny dude
    But you'll know it when I run by, you're scum, you're food
    Now I'm the reincarnated beast that carves hatred
    Into these streets that bleed from scars; faded
    Over the years, and sometimes when I'm sober the tears
    Take me over, as I look to the sky when I'm alone and it's clear
    Wishing for peace upon a star, or just a little piece of all the wealth
    Because I don't want to fight anybody any longer...least of all myself.

    Guy was a topical pillar for this site for a long time. Him and P. Mortuus helped elevate a lot of topical vets from the 2005-2010 era, including myself. Guy never champed Sacred Scriptures or any of the leagues but he had some classic battles in there and he continued to be a fierce writer after her left the board.

    Re: The Witness (Topical) (1-0)

    I want to say yes because it's Witty we're talking about here.. but I also want to say no because I feel like there's a half dozen others I can think of who been destroying things for a grip that have actually CHAMPED a league. It still blows my mind the man has 24 OMHoF's and never champed a season of SS or Writes of Passage or any topical tourney. I remember him beating a lot of legendary members and top tier heads...but hmmm....

    *feels torn saying yes at all*


    Edit: I'm going to say Yes for me. But my input is only one person and we need others to say he deserves this as well.

    Words in Motion was a topical tag tournament, he champed that by himself because soulstice no showed.

    Re: The Witness (Topical) (1-0)

    I edited my vote to a yes after thinking on it honestly. I might nominate some others who I think are worthy as well. We should definitely see what others think of Witty though.

    He beat Maven and Engivale by himself, that's impressive.

    V/ Yes, I know his resume enough to know at a point of time he was definitely the man on top of the game
    Where the fuck was I fore they found me?
    Floatn in a meadow, dragonflies all around me
    Seeded in a ghetto, smokin cigarellos
    Stress oceans try to drown me
    Walking on water like when Christ did, glidin
    Mic in my plam like the trident in the hand of Poseidon
