Change Your Name
Change your name…
Change it for one that with its scorching stigmatic fervor will evoke blood from
those who hear it. That the word detonates at the level of voices and that the
ferocity of its enunciation’s chars your tongue at the moment that it escapes your
mouth. Change it for one that is cunning. Change it for another that will be a
mirror
that reflects the falsity of its songs. A name that once spoken out loud will wrench
the feathers from the wings of angels that are in the vicinity of the conscious.
Change your name…
Change it for one, which instead of screaming in hushed tones, will resound.
One
that reflects your anguish and murders you every time you hear it. One that will
challenge the word of God. Change it and discard the one that was nailed to your
forehead. Remove the veil of your name and replace it for a new one, although it
might become a shroud. Change your name of shame for one of damnation.
Change your name of supplication and submission for one of sin.
Change your name of dead Royalty, although it might be the one of a bastard.
Change your name so that at the beckoning…
You will not answer.
