The Compendium

By Paris Thulare

This time I wear no dark color
This time I wear no scar 
My words cleansed me 
My lines made me 

From bieng a Black child 
I transformed and became  The Voice 
Egoisim and Pride tasted my margins 
From the Harbour with Valour I began singing Night Hyms 

Unexpectedly Feelings bled
I started chasing paper 
 I fell  for The Wrong 
Became A Fool 
I Rose Still

There began The Voyage with Poetry 
It brought the best in me 
I became a Paper orphan 
The Invention of a village life 
The Legend Walking 
From Being A Lyric Commando 
To being Parizo La Poeta
