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
