Puerile mash-up of Kanye West lyrics with Immanuel Kant's essay on Perpetual Peace
Immanuel Kanye
A Philosophical Sketchye
Satirical inscription on a Dutch innkeeper’s sign
You might think you’ve peeped the scene—
a burial ground
was made up centuries ago
painted mankind
twisted fictions
who dream this sweet dream
well, gather ‘round children
for us
fantasized ’bout this back in Chicago
wishes to try
How you say broke in Spanish?
Me no hablo
practical
‘You ain’t got no fuckin Yeezy in your Serato?’
assumes the position looking down
Look like a fat booty Celine Dion
empty threaten proceed
The plan was to drink until the pain over
causula salvatoria
desires malevolent
Don’t make me pull the toys
1.
No question if I want it, I need it
Tacitly reserved for a future war
I will never ever let you live this down,
down
attach dubious pleonasm
Not for nothing
making future peace dug out
and eventually answers to the call of Autumn
of dusty documents
tantrums
and by acute sleuthing
at the airport they check through my bag
too exhausted to make a
random
reservation mentalis
and a new fitted, and some job opportunities
an artifice worthy of the casuistry of a Jesuit
They done stole your dreams
the glory of the state:
continual aggrandizement by any means
I won’t be satisfied ‘til all get it
2.
Inheritance, Exchange, Purchase or Donation
I’m living in the 21st century
not a piece of property
no one man
a society of men
we ain’t got nothing to lose, motherfucker
dispose the state itself
this white man world, we the ones chosen
Is a trunk with its own roots
Well, that’s a pretty bad way to start a conversation
like a graft to destroy?
Who you going home with?
A moral person Everyone knows
I was drinking earlier, now I’m
manipulated at pleasure
I’m letting everything go
used and also used up
3.
Armies in time be totally
Extra bright, I want y’all to see this
readiness to compete with each other
until it’s Vegas everywhere, we are
more oppressive than a short war
Something wrong, I hold my head.
relieve this burden
we met at Borders
pay to kill or be killed
Cop lights, flashlights, spotlights, Strobe lights,
using them as tools
every night
in the hand of another
credit card declined
foreign treasure
Did I not mention
alliances, perhaps the most dependable
K, okay
learning to make an early
all the way
this time.
4.
Debts contracted external friction
Seeking aid above suspicion
Shores unfruitful
opposing machine grows beyond sight
a dangerous money power
the stimulus inclination inborn in nature
innocent
openly allying themselves.
‘bove all the night, I beat.
