The new colloquial is what they call me
Or what they should call me
But I
I am an artist
An artist of inspiration
An artist of words
An artist of life
An artist of you
I am perfection because I can’t be found
The night time falls and the moon
It lights up the sky
But we still can’t see
The darkness
We can’t see like an African
Deep in the darkness
We can’t see
But he is there
Naked
Raw
Powerful
He is us
He is you
He is me
He is we
He is what we call upon
On those days when we feel like
We’re crazy for being us
On those days
We just say
“Fuck it,
I don’t want to be here anymore”
And thus
I’ll never even the score of the ones
Who hate
Us
Forever unequal
Forever loved
Ungrateful
Greedy
Lustful
Forever happy
But also
Forever suicidal
In the hands of
This Planet
Will be forever round
Forever unbalanced
Forever unfair
Forever uncaring
And we are
Forever. Wonder.
