I Am

I am the unchosen but yet highly acclaimed ardent I Haven't received my awaited chance but I am anonymously delk in my own way I don't have enough but I still have more to give , gracing every moment with joy and laughter. Living within the ways of the many but caught in the works of the few I am the white crayon that was never used and the children's laughter that brings joy I am the vision that was never prophesied and the believer who was never baptised I am the hum that was push beneath the deep and the unknown reality's dream . I am a revolutionist with no weapon and a coming coup maker of forgone generation I am the man you see behind the shadows and the boy singing heavenly hymns I am In a carnival ride with hypocritical mockers at feast but I lace in clown cloths laughing at 'em feeble works I am not any other poet nor an everyday writer. I’m the music that was never arranged and the dim unknown vice behind the backing vocals I don't dwell on the past neither do i live the moments for the future . I am a veteran of a war I never fought in , and a general in a shadow army I am the message behind the talking drums and the incantations of the Royal fetish I am the new sunshine of the old rain and I worth my weight in metaphors verses and haikus I am 21st century man living the 1st century life combining harmonic words beautiful than silence.
