A mostly raw, uninhibited, slightly satirical view into the world of Jack Common.

Rhetoric

The art of war with only word slayin’

Opinions and concepts, Colonel conveyin’ 

Not a prophet, a sophist 

Aristotle, Plato, Socrates 

Melodic philosophies 

Sophisticated and sophistic 

Don’t twist it 

Logos, pathos, ethos 

Based on memory mementos 

Used to be reticent 

Now no restriction 

Started using words with conviction 

Language restitution 

From word recyclin’ pollution 

Kweli style communication 

Don’t want limbaugh’s pockets or his station 

No poll or surveys 

Just soul and life’s x-rays 

Gettin’ down to bone, the core 

Always askin’ questions, more, more, more 

All forms of art I adore 

My style came from Ms. Greene’s chore 

Gave her sass while she gave me class 

High quality discourse now writin’ is my remorse 

First rule of reportin’ 

Gotta play the whole recordin’ 

Hannity Fox’s vanity

Can’t make sense of Common

Or the majority of the peeps

That walk the streets 

First class trash lines the tv 

Anyone heard of Bill O’reilly 

They wanna talk down to everyone 

And keep them under their thumb 

Ya know conservatives don’t like change 

Anything new to them is strange 

Not their way 

So twist what others say

Hannity wouldn’t know the first thing about art 

He’s hot air, a Fox flavored fart 

Sittin’ behind a camera face all tart 

Pushin’ an agenda filled shit cart 

Mouth manure 

Runnin’ names through the sewer 

Rat a tat tat, I smell a rat 

Only ambition to fill his heart with cheese 

When you watch please decipher fallacy and validity please 

Anyone with a lineup starring Glen Beck 

I must give heck

Not hell 

An illusion I’ll never sell 

Fears of damnation 

To keep people on the plantation 

Today’s theme: media manipulation  


Fannin' The Fire

Darkness
