Thou Art An Amazing Human Being

Thou art an amazing human being Your poetry is something That I could go on reading and reading And never feel bored at all Because, I love how you make the mighty fall Showing the world that they truly are Which is, nothing but a bunch of pretentious bores! Thou art an amazing human being Thanks to whom, are things always happening Always, do you hit the bull's eye When it cometh to calling out casteism and misogyny Not to mention, are you incredibly courageous What you write, has often been called "outrageous" However, in my opinion Nothing could ever come closer to the truth And never have I been prouder of any person Especially given that, nowadays, is there a dearth Of truly radical thinkers With the system, does nobody dare to tinker!! Thou art an amazing human being I find your books extremely inspiring Not to mention, is your activism of supreme importance Particularly given that, nowadays, very few dare to take a chance And challenge the existing class and caste structure A role model are you, for everyone who aspires To try and bring about a societal transformation Not to mention, repeatedly have you breached the bastion Of cis hetero male domination!! Thou art an amazing human being Never do you give up on anything Compassionate are you, to the core A very caring mother Who somehow manages to devote time to her children In spite of being in the midst of so much action Not to mention, a lot of genuine respect do you have For your fans and admirers Something that we greatly love Oh, and screw your haters!! Just be the way you are And may Jesus bless you, for now and forever!!
