We Meat Again...

I hope that all is well and that you have had a great week. I guess that this means that we indeed are meeting once again. I apologise for my pro-longed absence, but I thank you and everyone that has taken time out to view my Blog in my absence.

In my absence I have rediscovered my love for, writing and rhyming again. I feel that  now have a renewed sense of purpose and vigour which I feel will bode me well in the coming future. I hope that you enjoyed the latest post entitled The Meat. 

At present, I have few more concepts in my head, that I have had in my head for many months ready to put to paper, so expect more content  in the coming future. 

In addition to this, I would say that my writing style has definitely developed a new path way over the past months as you can probably tell. This path way has shown me to experiment much more with techniques that I have grown fond of. 

These techniques being the the Three Line Rhyme, The Interwoven Rhyme Scheme, The Extended Metaphor and the most noticeably The Thought Flow. There is other techniques that I have been brainstorming and I hope to implement them soon in some of my future works'.

If you have any questions about my latest piece or any pieces that I have wrote in the past, don't hesitate to contact me via Email or Twitter. I will gladly answer them.

Take Care,

The Meat...

Preamble: This is a story of me stopping to talk to a young man on the train, about youth knife crime and youth gun crime that is currently on the streets. The following is what I said at The Meat:

I said, my name is Alph Arley

I know that you’re certainly pleased to meat me,

Because, I know I’m certainly pleased to meat you

He had his, face straight, straight faced

I said that now hold on Young’un

Let’s get one thing straight, I am not trying to speak to you, to beef you,

I thought to myself, I am not trying to speak to you, to beef you?

As I was thinking, there was fire in his eyes, that probably caused his thoughts to fry

He was probably thinking like who is this guy?

 Like, I thought to myself, like Alph look what you gone and did,

What you gone and did? I meant to say, what you gone and done

 I thought to myself, like Alph well done,

Well done, because before you begun, He wants you to go stuff yourself,

He wants you to sow yourself up, he wants you strung and hung

I said now hold on Young’un, ease yourself in your chair and open your ears,

I steadied my tonsils and prepared, while I readied my nostrils and flared, as I asked 

as I asked, why do I smell bad blood in the air?

 I said, let’s make one thing extremely clear, to find me in beef is extremely, rare

I said, what I’m saying is, Young’un

 How I’m going cook my words up, is how your minds going to eat it

All I’m trying to be is a medium to you, to mediate with you

But, this right here, let’s make it clear, 
what I have said already, is me going medium with you

I said, now Young’un before you say some’un, let me turn up the heat,

 My apologies, if my words cut deep, but please, before you speak listen to me speak

I said, listen up Young’un, I see the youths on the streets

On the streets, there packing their heat, there upping the degrees to their beef

To their beef, the youths are using and abusing knives in public view

In public view, to cut through, meat to bone and more bone to meat

It seems to me, that it is a whole heap, of bones and meat, their cutting through

 Like Young’un, let me tell you some’un

 I see that the youths, with their beef, they try to chew

They try to chew, but the beef they struggle to get through

It's true, the youths chew, chew then they chew off more than they can chew, it's true

It’s true, that nowadays youths are using knives, with their lives and prides at stake

Talking about, peppering and corning each other whilst putting knives in a public place

Public place? I meant to say, whilst putting knives in a public plate

  As medics make way, to put youths in bags, to take away

I said, now before you say some’un Young’un, like I know that every youth nowadays

Nowadays, is entitled to make mistakes

I admit, I have made many mistakes myself in my days

But Young’un all i’m trying to say, is,

Treating yourself and each other, as pieces of meat, is surely not the only way   

The Thoughts Continue...

Firstly, I would like to thank you and everyone most humbly for reading the content on my blog, I am very grateful for this.

I have admittedly not written anything substantial over the last couple of months, this is due to the fact I have been pre-occupied with other ventures at this present time. I hope to reveal all maybe some time over the coming year.

Moreover, I still have concepts in my head which am I  constantly creating everyday which keep me going, so hopefully I will write soon. I thank you again for your patience and I will be touch soon.

Take Care,

The Lost Freestyles:The Biblical Journey...

Like your Cain and I'm Abel 

Let me tell you my fable 

Forget smashing your skull with a rock 

I will choke you with a cable 

What you saying my bars are disgraceful?

What you saying my bars are distasteful? 

Ok let me gain some composure 

To show you that I am able 

Lets start in the beginning 

Listen I remember chilling 

Chilling in a manger 

Everybody crowding calling around me a Savior 

Listen I was a baby these times 

I cant remember these strangers 

But as my mother recalls 

As a baby there was no-one braver 

She said one day you will grow to be a game changer 

You will be able to change hearts 

You will be able to cause laughs 

You will be able to see the difference between good and bad people 

To set these two types apart 

Like Moses and The Red sea, the sea in front of thee, there for you to part 

All you need to do is 

Just hold up your head, take a breath, son, and walk your path....

The other said 

"You know what F all the feds"

"Yeah they don't respect"

"Yeah, Yeah, I said it F the government"

"Yeah they don't respect"

"The feds wait and serve the government and politicians like A bunch Of Alfreds'"

The other said 

"You know what I actually don't blame them" 

"Like I don't actually blame the feds in the ends" 

"Because its true what they say the government seek out to plant the seed" 

"Plant the seed like Poison Ivy" 

"Truthfully I know the government try and poison me"

"Sometimes it leads me to scream" 

"Sometimes it leads me to speak" 

"Do you remember when I robbed the doctor that time and told him to freeze" 

"I know I changed my trail of thought" 

"But truthfully I thought that ish was kinda fun-ny" 

"The moment the donny dropped to his knees" 

"We, told him to march like a penguin, we" 

"We, told him to strip down to his boxers and hand over the p"

"He froze" 

"Froze like a scarecrow in search of a hero" 

"It was strange" 

"But kept repeating he name Hugo" 

"When we showed him the heat, we" 

"We must have sent him cra-zy" 

"He must have wished, he, had a night in" 

"We must have turned him" 

"He must be chilling like a villain in the hospital Night Wing" 

"Out there and up there in Arkham Asylum"
