Because !!!
Because i am black
this cafe is for the white
Because i am poor
This avenue is for the rich
And because i am a native resident
This town is only for the civilized
And because i am a believer
This church is for the atheists
******
And because and because and because !!!!
And because you say i am bad,
So all the world agrees with the fact
That me being bad, makes me an easy target
And because you are the chief
So all you say must be, undoubtedly true
And because i am the innocent
You have the right to incriminate me
And send me inside four scorched walls
You have all the earth, with its width and length,
With its oceans and forests and deserts, with its wilderness
And you narrow my existence within four cement walls,
" Leave me in the wild, i will be wisely civilized;
Or, leave me with the Vip, i will be criminal
Leave me with the rich, i will become arrogant
leave me with the nobles, i will use racism against the Blacks
Make me a true citizen, i will be corrupted townsman"
That's what you want, the normal behaviour seen as extreme
When spontaneity becomes naivety, when originality is fallacy
When honesty is hypocrisy, and when nature poetry becomes an old song
and when modesty turns into arrogance, and knowledge becomes Ignorance.........
What language shall a poet speak in to be understood by his peers ???
Animals in the wild have ears, have hearts ,have harmony, have empathy, .
Are blessed those shepherds in the pastoral open-mindedness, in the
natural blogs, in the ritual-space gathering honesty, goodness and
poetry............
But, hold on! do you think i am vulnerable
An easy scapegoat, or a gullible mouth-full ?
Do you think that being poor makes me damned
condemned to live in the trash dump, like a tramp !!!
And being aborigine, turns me uncivilized
Do you think being spontaneous means naive?
We veer far from the truth as if we see it in a mirror
reflected giving the anti-thesis; or the antonym of the true notion.
the original definition, the genuine quality..
