Another Poem by Backpack

This is something I wrote in 2007... It was just my thoughts on the influence of the media over culture and to a greater extent life in general. To date, it is still untitled...
 
Lupe Fiasco might jus be da greatest rapper today
Now I kno you think what did he say
But first ponder this a line that he dropped
And if you seriously listen ya mind may stop
And I quote: "No Honor Amongst Fellows
It's like sittin next to a blind and tryna describe yellow"
At first I was like that was a hot punchline
Then as gears started to spin in da back of my mind
I find that life's a circus and I sit at center stage
As mirage after mirage is shown to me to keep me engaged
But what does it really mean
And who is this ringmaster that continues to orchestrate what is seen
Is it tha rappers fault that I'm in love with money
Yet I spend it on useless things like a mindless dummy
Have you really just stopped to audit your life and see what's wrong
And realized that you ride on 20 inch chrome that cost mo than ya home
Or that you got a tattoo to feel hard yet it means nothin
And all you can say is that I gotta keep it real that's why I got this weapon
You go out and do wrong live life wit no boundary
You kill others dreams since you've long shut down your own dream factory
It feels real good to be bad and since you're good at it you strive
You subconsciously realize that's the only time you feel alive
At all other times you walk da zombie path
Neither going or coming no goals you have
They say there is a heaven but how do they know
No one's ever been there and took pictures to show
So why should I live life followin tha laws of this land
Oh cuz I've gotta please the morals of some unseen big man
Now do not mistake my words as blasphemy
Cuz like Talib Kweli said if I don't kno "My Father" then this life I live is bastardly
Humbled hearts and a pure soul is what he asks of me
And all I ask I return is send me some sign for me to see
Not a 40 year flood or a burning bush
I need peace in the middle east and violence shushed
But he can't control that cuz that's the work of man
Got damn didn't I start this off by saying there is no honor amongst men
