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.
