Sacred Scriptures Ad #4



Hello, I am a Moderator at RapBattles.com Username: Professor Frost
 If you are a writer of lyrics or poetry or rap then come check out the Sacred Scriptures League at the above website address. This is the sort of content that we post in the league. Enjoy.

(This is a villianelle. Poetry of a certain rhyme scheme that repeats lines throughout to emphasize its meaning.)

Memory banks grant thanks to her mind,
 She's harnessed the ability of time's feel
 She's captured photographs in capsules' bind

 Camera lens of past project movies that rewind
 The reels of yesterday display scenes that heal,
 Memory banks grant thanks to her mind

 Nothing seems to last, what's real -- she can't find
 Define frames of erosion to divine magnetic steel
 She's captured photographs in capsules' bind

 When God's hand & her clock clash in time
 Designed fate shall be set to reveal,
 Memory banks grant thanks to her mind

 Images of the future never pass, just wind,
 In cycles which entrap her life's hourglass in seal
 She's captured photographs in capsules' bind

 Grains of sands shake weight & grind,
 The liquids of the day, they steal
 Memory banks grant thanks to her mind,
 She's captured photographs in capsules' bind,
