Read like Athenian for my future bread

"I am not an Athenian or a Greek,
but a citizen of the world" - Socrates.
Irish and Scottish instrumental music
is one of my favorite.
I have a weakness for oriental cuisines.
I am a fan of Greek and Hindu mythologies.
Most of my neighbors are Arabic.
The library I attend belongs to a Native American.
I am an African who speaks English language.
Different cultures and races color my life!
I am a citizen of the world.
They amaze me with their Athena thoughts -
full-grown at birth -
while I sit silently, my stereoscopic vision flat.
As they speak, hypnotic images emerge with a three-dimensional power.
I'm overwhelmed.
Then suddenly, a bright jewel shines in my eyes.
A thought is beating in my blood.
I try to grasp it,
but each facet of the small crystal is a singular knife that slices my tongue.
My delivery fails
and I gaze on the backs of Athenian armor.
my Goddess entwines
love and the kind
of encouragement
worthy of Thor
on a pedestal of pure
Athenian marble
she inscribes
my tablet
chipping away
a bit everyday
the imperfections
are revealed with time
molding this rock
as malleable clay
with the hands of a sculptor
divine
and with the patience of Job
in negligee
she polishes blemish
away
earth and life are symbiotic
poisoning one destroys two
believing not betrays
the host that takes an oath
