This Body

This body has been manufactured by the administration 

This mind was created on a assembly line 

told what to think 

what to like 

when to talk 

and what to say 

but 

no longer will I pay 

for this corporate world 

I will free myself from these chains of depression 

and 

liberate my soul 

with the rhythm of words

I will rebuild my body from head to toe 

creating a self portraits of verbs 

with a greater meaning then the Mona Lisa 

more poetic then the Last Supper 

a collision of literature and art 

resulting in 

This body
