I Am a Book

I Am A Book By David J Walker I am a book of Unread pages I am a book I am a book Written in stages in A travel log On a road called Time With the foreign stamps Of Passport Ministers Checking my credentials along the way I am a book I am a book Of unread scripture With the lectures on faith In staggered chapters and the Tattered chronicled collections of Odd jobs We have asked of a Loving God Written in a foreign language I am A book I am a book Of erotic poetry in Pictograph albums Scrutinized and analyze Then censored By holier than me censors I am a book I am a book With pages numbered And then sealed Its secrets to be Revealed in full on an unannounced Judgment day with Disputes left in the hands of A Divine Defender I am a book I am a book To be colored Everyday Where the lines do not matter Only the hue and The view In which you see me I am a book I am a book Not to be left On the dusty shelf of A forgotten library Rarely opened in a Distant history I am a book to be read And even if misunderstood To be savored I am a book
