Check these tight rhymes right here

 I was feeling a little depressed, so I decided to write a rap.  This is probably my best work to date.  I feel much better now--nothing like (re)discovering that you're awesome to make you feel better.  I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I may just be the greatest rapper ever.  Tight rhymes, creative use of alliteration, back to back references to wave-particle duality and Plato's allegory of the cave... what more could you want?  So far, I like rapping it over the beat to Mobb Deep's "Quiet Storm". 


Nihilist-kissed

Oh ho! Here’s come the nihilist,
Value dissipates, lost, dissolved into the mist
The spectre of naught, undoing all you’re wrought
For being caught will cost you notions of ‘ought’
Cause in her clenched fist, no way to resist
There nothing left for you, oh lost nihilist-kissed

 Sometime, when I feel empty inside
I want to hide, want to slide into a sleep
I want to weep, no I want to want to weep
Want feel like life’s something precious to keep
But in the end death comes to those who wait
Forecast a final fate that seems to sedate
That seems to negate, life’s value and weight
Life so light, it may as well be a wave
No more than shadows on the back of a cave
When the end is a grave, we might as well be in it
No use being brave, because in the limit
We end up the same, back from whence we came
It’s no use to complain, or wallow in shame
When we’re done the game, there’s nothing left to blame
Even if the interim’s drab dystopic or lame

Oh ho! Here’s come the nihilist,
Value dissipates, lost, dissolved into the mist
The spectre of naught, undoing all you’re wrought
For being caught will cost you notions of ‘ought’
Cause in her clenched fist, no way to resist
There nothing left for you, oh lost nihilist-kissed
