This is a new topical suggested by Aesop Rock and written by Anotha's most slept on artist. Plz feed this- I am really impressed myself lol. See if anyone of y'all can get what it's about (not you obv Aesop lol)...




Mute Witness



In fields we lie,
Waving at the robots shooting by,
Mechanically monotonous in routine,
Lost in between, the elaborate scenes of the sky,
Unaware of our presence beside,
The routes of the dreamlike world they reside,
The Matrix confining their rage and their pride,
Like wild lions tamed by...
The wrought iron cages they're inside...

Disturbed by the wind I sway and I glide,
Amidst the glade far and wide,
Through the weary air,
Away from the despair,
Of the dreary world I once considered my side...

Over streams meandering like veins I flutter,
Weaving like knives through butter,
Thieving unrivalled views of unparalleled news,
Mildly jaded and bruised through transit of lands,
Silently faded dusk suggests fear and remand,
I steer but a man appears in my path,
As I near I hear a deep shallow laugh,
Reigns torn from my hands as I crash,
My foreign tongue steals me of commands,
I stutter and mutter with no response to demands...

Discarded I lie,
Witnessing the whistling projectiles fly by,
Surprised yet somewhat reclined at this sight,
Crimson mists mask the night sky,
A maimed robot bleeds out his plight,
As it's chassis strains and weakens it cries,
For a chance to plead for it's rights,
But the assassins never reply,
Tears faltering to deaf ears,
Like sunlight competing with night skies,
Sheer spite or the feared violence of the others,
Simply they raise their weapons...and silence their brothers...

Still exposed I lie,
Insignificant in the proceedings of life,
No robot queries or has theories of I,
They prefer the bliss ignorance can supply,
Believing we simply exist to provide,
Their oil and life,
The oxygen they need to survive...

Alone, yet united with inanimate relations,
In fields we peruse robots retaliations,
To their own insulting provocations,
Never telling, simply dwelling on creation,
Musing over these situations,
Then concluding and residing with our own allegations...













You NEED to FEED this drop- this is HOT and no one can deny it and be being serious. Plz peeps- don't sleep on me no more- I'm sick of it lol...

I'ma be being serious...
j/K

You really took my suggestion, flew with it, turned it into a space ship, and went it to space. You owned this, man. The words, they match the topic so well...but they also took on their own life. I don't want to say anything, or speculate on anything too much, but...wow, you did great with it.

Just know this is one of my favorite pieces by you, and I really enjoyed it.

this is hot.


imo it's ur best piece.

i don't know what ur intended meaning was. it's one of those ambiguous type of things. what i'm taking it to mean is robots, as in people who are mindless drones or followers. that's probably way-off, i can even see it doesn't fit cleanly in places, but that's the reaction u got from me.

technical aspects were on point. word choice was nice. the rhyme u used was well-placed -half-rhyme, rhyme, and multi all used when they needed to be. a nice contrast in that respect


u've really outdone urself. sorry i don't have time for all the deep thought jazz on this one, but trust me- this sits quite comfortably with the best stuff i've read on here. keep going from strength to strength cuz

i did like this a lot. hard to say that this is your best. it's really different then what i normally see from you, so, it's great to see variety. the way you put this together really came out well. the presentation was complimented by the flow greatly. what i got from this was that you're speakin' as a tree. like, you're a tree that's grown with the times and you've stood on the side just watchin' the world past by. you describe it all very well.

Disturbed by the wind I sway and I glide,
Amidst the glade far and wide,
Through the weary air,
Away from the despair,
Of the dreary world I once considered my side...

if trees had brains, i think you captured what they're thinkin' and feelin' greatly. it's an expression of disgust towards what has happened with all of the unnaturalities, everythin' is artificial now. but you also express comforment 'cause you're a tree. with no muscles to move your limbs, it's all bark. after goin' into feed, the complexity yet simplicity in this really does make this one of your best works, probably is your best.

"My belief is that art should not be comforting; for comfort, we have mass entertainment, and one another. Art should provoke, disturb, arouse our emotions, expand our sympathies in directions we may not anticipate and may not even wish. Art should certainly aspire to beauty, but there are myriad sorts of beauty: the presentation of a subject in the most economical way, for instance; a precise choice of language, of detail."

I dig the imagery. you used rhyme well in this, where you used it consistently with out letting it become at all the focus of your verse, keeping the content pure and dope. I can't even do that well nowadays. This probably isn't legit feed but I love shit with robots in it. Like Lupe's daydreamin' they're a good symbol for of monotony, autonomy, devoid of emotion. I actually thought you could have worked on the flow a little more IF you wanted it to flow better. I think the raw flow compliments the content well. wouldn't hurt to go back and look at though. If only you were doing drop of the week back then. shit's ill

also I'm going to guess the robot is an angel.

This is Very Different this is WAAAAY outta the box but damn did you handle this with Style i liked how you made the concept make sense to others

Over streams meandering like veins I flutter,
Weaving like knives through butter,
Thieving unrivalled views of unparalleled news,
Mildly jaded and bruised through transit of lands,
Silently faded dusk suggests fear and remand,
I steer but a man appears in my path,
As I near I hear a deep shallow laugh,
Reigns torn from my hands as I crash,
My foreign tongue steals me of commands,
I stutter and mutter with no response to demands...

Very well thought way to put this together i dig your vocabulary.

yo I cant leave detailed feed right now, I’m high so id be talking on and on about the same thing aha...but yo man

this drop is by far your best. at least out of those specific drops that I have read. but this is like whoa aka wow 4 real......mad deep. and your vocabulary is dope man, your "word choice was nice" as t.o. said. this drop was astounding. for real. def put you up along with the best writers on the site in my opinion

aha I hate showing examples that other people have already posted but like gods plan. I thought this

"Over streams meandering like veins I flutter,
Weaving like knives through butter,
Thieving unrivalled views of unparalleled news,
Mildly jaded and bruised through transit of lands,
Silently faded dusk suggests fear and remand,
I steer but a man appears in my path,
As I near I hear a deep shallow laugh,
Reigns torn from my hands as I crash,
My foreign tongue steals me of commands,
I stutter and mutter with no response to demands..."


part of the drop killed it. I mean the last 2 bars were crazy. You are very talented. And I now see why you are in college(correct me if I’m wrong) I would love to see more drops like this from you.
Keep posting
