The Courts of Babylon
The cream of the underworld brooms
On the summits
Beyond the horizons of hell
The pinnacle of damnation
There her children daughters have
Crack the pinnacle of rebellion
They’ve mastered also the art
Of dressing to undress
They’ve revolutionized the industry
Remodeled their fashion and design
To walk tall and elegant
Unclothed and without shame
Like some nude stature
They’ve reinvented the factory
To make bread without dough
Weave fabric without wool
Make pizza without heat
Fry chicken without oil
Make braai without coal
Going beastly and slavish
Making babies without sex
Yet make love using rubber
They’ve revised the dictionary
For Daddy they’ve big Mike
And ma’am is replaced by Bitch
They’ve BMW for Baby Making Weather
My Whore for Girlfriend
Home girl for Wife
Extramarital for Infidelity
Gay for sexual pervasion
And ex-lover for promiscuity
They’ve redefined music
For the night clubs are a nuisance
Where they lavish the night
Swearing cursing and uttering nonsense
Above the din and drum of guitar
Clap and jeer or cheer
Painfully amplified the inferno
That sizzling climatic extravagance of hell
They’ve called they music
And they’ve borrowed also of the devil
Christened it and brand it holy hip-hop
And their gibberish and hips don’t lie
They’ve refined the art
Of painting and artistry
For they be tired of drawing
On board and paper
They cartoon their hair
Chisel the teeth
Humorously trim the beard
Do husbandry to the brows
Bore the ear slavish kind of
Paint their blasphemous lips
And so double the curse
Tattoo wherever wicked mind dictates
Stick some iron on tongue
Wear some plastic and tight
Look so metallic and artificial
Like some cartoon network animation
Appearing pathetically so funny
Yet arrogant typical of lunatics
Showing the whiteness of teeth
At the load of false compliment
From friends just as blind and confused
Or at worst damned lost
