I am not a poet. I am the air before a storm. The weak in your knees. The smile on your heart. I am. I am not a poet. I am the aftermath of sin. I am the godlike sworn into pages. Scripture is my tongue, to fold like weak genes That strike to be like matches I am beckoned fire. I am not a poet. I am not a believer. We were raised by the last unfortunately; I do not believe in “leaders” or “followers”, I do not believe in “society” or “democracy” This generation is lost. I do not believe in found. I do not believe in freedom. When we are only “free” to be everything but our souls. The truth is…I do not write poetry. I birth it whenever God needs a favor so When my pen bares fruit know it’s divine nature refined. I define nature. HOLD UP. WE define nature. Eve am I in the garden of Eden, feeding the Adam in my spirit That speaks in tongue, I taste the susurrus sounds swishing like a serpents swearing Bite into this forbidden, swallow sin, make ink stain of this metaphor On the fabric of your perception The truth is, I do not write. I create life that’s been a part of God’s plan Since sonogram; my divine right. I am not a poet. I am a contradiction. I am everything including nothing. I am the song the caged bird sings. Once it’s freed. I am the silence before a bomb. I simply do not believe. This generation was raised by the last, but I would rather raise hell Then praise heaven to be a place where the gates are too white to embrace the black Of the sin I’ve committed I am not a poet. I write because I want God to hear me. This Chose ink is the closest voice from heaven like, blessed cursive Curses curved like Sacred scribble Revised, I’ve rised, correction, raised. I revise like rewritten history; I’ve witness lies, yet mystery Lies within the truth, somehow. I’m no doctor, but if I were, I would prescribe patience. I just want God to hear me, I will listen…but for now I am sincerely seeking the God within self, I believe in Other.
