LESEGO RAMPOLOKENG
= DECAY
(creaky gate open? sound escape rusty door close? soundscape)
From darkest destruction, magnificent brillance shards
Rearrangement from decay, evolution to a higher plane
(feel some religion coming on,
‘get thee behind me, Satan’ though sounds odd in this context
Let the riot burst forth & multiply, filth in the world cleanses.
Purity is death. despite taxi driver monologues)
Body horror rancid flesh ooze (suck the pus) & the brain drip
Blood congeal. Menses. One side rotten egg stench, other…foetus.
Long made Choice. Furtive. Sentient. Fugitive. Neither fixed nor fixable
abode. State: ultimate in-betweener, though, to be sure, not fence-sitter.
Exist in survival-mode. Cycle maggot to fly and back in one verse run on
reserve tank. Refuel on the hoof, off life. And death. Though more ebb
than flow function. Tension & release? More the ‘take the piss’ call.
Being deteriorate as come alive.
Fragmented image fractured optics
De/composition shit music
(Page-bait phenomena triggle to write
(pen brittle the sheet) Mental sheets excrete
Field record hollers crackle
Run through radio static signal mash wash
Out of mangle-ground Word the profound sound-
(innards exposed to the elements.
Jaco Pistorius—portrait of tracy
Decay in resurrection
A lower quality Christ
Second version come from ash
Reverse gravity pull heed the heavens’ call to rust
Sucked into the holy slit
‘anoint thee with mine venom-spit
‘Sip of the poisoned chalice’ covenant
Cult as intellect insult
Grater to the bible—Kemang wa Lehulere,
Posterity doctrine erosion
Exodus revelations
In the beginning was the grunt stutter that is Dub
Delay Echo Delay Sustain….spacecraft
Self-immolate the fire within
Sphincter haemorrage
Cost & change add & subtract multiply on the fly
The hurt Elastoplast butchered history plaster over it
Derangement campaign butchery training camp pain
Wriggle & squirm bandage
Crusts fall covers peel off the core reveals
Closer to the bone the fundamental
Strip insulate bleed pus sips
Suck on the purulence
Sesal & circuit
Spirituality commodification
(rotten from the neck down in the head resides heaven
Miscreant/deviant art Godly compensation
up from vegetable state to genius
‘eat what you shit’ perversion
Out the coffin the tombstone-blues
In the casket the basket case
Subvert it to remain ‘in the tradition’
In posterity find the ancient
They) puncture spine to heal brain
Out the anus into the mouth is regeneration
From anal to mineral deposit progression
--thantaomophose
Prosperity gore-spell cast upon the road to hell
Desperation street leads to worship
Soul-search the wishing well
Pray for the pastor his earthly riches yours in heaven
You to work to hair-fibre skin nail
past future and down the ages
From here to perverse paradise
Master & slave wink exchange
Script flips skin inside-out
Floats to surface the gem
Consumption elite gospel
Reptilian cables twist flick tongues
wires cross variegated flames burst
Signal (hill) on the blink
Transmission tower jam
Where the power switch?
The dying when the flames go down
Internecine surge
Breath gurgle is a blocked toilet system.
Foreign butt settle on native head
Drum & stick MOVE!
Illuminate the hate spite cast as light
(lived reality existent in the esoteric real)
Legitimise the paradise
Bog life bogged down in lice
Comes ideological chameleon
Spouting regime change
Got sense to derange
Play the divine card in the dop system vineyard
Cue the Vatican tithe the populace pope up opulence
Vantage point Hog’s Berth pit-latrine
Formal dick-hide
‘quite piggy’ on the riot-rig
Porcine vision scat-music
Audio-rape video-violate
We go in….rubber tongues animate
Bleached eye clear sighted grey conscious
Diaper Don trumps all liberatory noise
Acid thirst innards rust
Façades crumble faces eaten
Clap butt-cheeks offer the alternative christ
Strike pose for the most effective rectum-kick
Sediment Sewer-fare Decline Disintegration
Recede / recession at the Dub-tail of things
Reverb decay sustain release
Not invisible ink but ghost-lines are written
Kalahari Surfers
Lee Scratch Perry
Jimi Hendrix—3rd
Stone From The Sun
King Tubby
Kabasa - Love to Ralph
The Beatles - Revolution 9
Melt away take on existence different new meaning
Occupy a novel universe resurrection testament
Radioactive substance abuse
Shriek from the shadows
Echoplex sonics’ disappearance over the horizon
From around the corner phantom noise
Projectile dying along the way, record :
“the child stopped the life of a perfectly healthy, innocent bullet
with its back” target take the blame
Sight & sepsis void eyes
Burning, the pedo-file the pede-rust
Senses disintegrate logic evaporates
Perversion rises locked & loaded chambered lyric-flex
Meaning come in search of WORD The ingest & excrete cycle
The scream rolls back buckles up the throat to choke
Dying moment a new coming to life not Jesus-like
Rebirth before death rise from faeces night-mare riding
Psyche-ward sleep paralysis
Perfection is excretion
Decline to the top of the line
Caucasus mountains death caucus gathering of carcasses
Pile them up til the weight collapse
Then wait for the Lazarus rise from the wreckage
Age wrecks master-piss magnum-op-poes
Crash falls meteor hit earth explode
Birth itself manifold
Sound fragments pieced bits glued together
Morph into audio-collage
Cacophony here harmony there
To each their share melody transgress
‘bring the noise’-public enemy
Slime crisis: how to modulate hate?
Frequency mutilation machine particle deployment
Gibberish hit wall bounce back eloquence rich
Empty trash-bin cache
Mask-A-Raid (lowest fidelity)
Military parade lie definition/detection charade
When least expected attack
Tape hiss serpent to Eve
message in the drum call up Adam
Mis/arranged marriage carnage pre-curse
Biblical apple-bite proportion
Elevator to hell escalator beyond the bottom
There goes the WordSound
Revelation end before the Genesis
The eaten corrosive cleans up the innards
Travel in the snout down the aliment out anal
caught in the air swallowed back then all over again
Reconfigured restructured rebuilt incorrectly put back together
With magic ability added to ‘perform reality’
Flared nostrils indicate intense listening when breathing through the ears
What polish? Caveman production no rand-paper rub-down
Bum-rush the art-garbage truck recycle to repurpose (Buthelezi)
Run metrics in reverse from trash to organics hyper-creation
Erosion expose bone bone powdered get smoked
Low toke to highest zone
Existence on multiple plane dimensions switch
Born formed then the Benjamin Button press
From over-polish reel back to demo-stage back-to-front value system
Intro corrosive foreign element
Forget ‘civilise’ this ‘barbarise’ mission
Fire up low fart it ignite power-scent high art
Bass & tweet crash-meet feed hard
Bottom & top meet-merge past threshold
Comes the treble caused all the rubble
Red light blink distortion set in
fuse blow out mix sink into mud
Combustion spontaneous mechanical internal bleed
Archival haemorrhage canon collapse inward
Self-demolition
WORD. lip-lash. Glitch. Cognitive ability decline.
Alien invasion in the machine. Mutation.
Opposite gimmick to joke trajectory.
Musician-ship-wreck.
Flotsam jetsam shore up the debris.
3-2-1 shame on!
As the paintings rot in galleries
Museum pieces fall apart
Let the paint dry
Age it have its light come out
Cultural muscle memory atrophies
Zero co-ordinates GPS malfunction
no map PIN where any compass points
Unchartered course on canvass
Graduate coke to crack the potency process
Flesh eat crank up to Tranq bear Croc-fangs
No war anywhere (but) gore everywhere
Charlie Parker
Frank Zappa
“the music was too beautiful…had to turn grotesque” misquote
Defilement called the shred beckoned don art-rape-coats & set forth.
Soul insolvency dredge & scoop out the slop-bucket
Floor mop then speak straight out pocket
Dread communicate step on broken hourglass pieces
Tape back together (out of cog) know what the real time is:
Knowledge beyond propaganda punch no agenda-clock
Origination springs from mistake
Crack in the system no fake
Error births creation, not fraud
Fallen through the slit to re-create
Self re-breed not counterfeit
Everything initiate/originate nothing imitate
The morphed the greatest most high the tramp
What castle equal the least crawled out the swamp?
Fallen angels glory-borne luminous most illuminated
Scripture middle reads: cash me if you can
Church is up for transaction sells life eternal
Capital institution at profiteer freak station
And the filth was precious to the Virgin Lie :
‘most cleanliness in the pigsty than god habitat in the sky’
Chief your chief deity
Spiritual bankruptcy aesthetic
Soul insolvency poetics
That’s the rhythm-n-blues of it
‘talking all that jazz’ loud on the finance platform
Let it rip with the whip come on the back-beat
But whose back gets beaten?
Take it with pinch of salt-of-the-earth
‘unto death’ the lynch was promised not just
physical emotional mental
From the gutted the real the sewer sustain
DECAY definition’s in the manifestation.

Manual: how to mine atrocity
History manufacture in laboratory

As the Zim gong goes BOOM
We) catch the reverberate-sound
Before it hits ground at the tail-bubble-end & BEAM
future-ward restructured dividend
dried-up jerk-wad
crusted menstrual bleed
unrealised lines on virgin pad
from them instant magnum opus
from shriek in drizzle to quiet storm
from the volcanic something classic
from concrete material to the ethereal
wheels-of-steel anarchic technique
drums in a scrum pyro/fire-riddim deconstruct
tempest in a cranium lyric
the more it ferment the more potent
