"Don't Follow This Poem"

I’m a verbal chameleon, feeding on and leading onto what comes next.

I’m a lexical shape-shifter, made swifter by the twitter of your vibes,

Your guise,

You guys.

 

My political agenda is neither right nor left behind.

I’m blind to colour but not colour blind,

I’m not pigeon holed, fully sold or moulded on someone else’s dream.

I’m simply,

Free.

From them,

From you,

From me.

 

So…

When now becomes nowhere without here and now.

And “unite as one” is paraphrased as a power phrase.

Let’s unite as individuals on separate viduals to overthrow ourselves.

 

Don’t follow crowns, clowns or crowds.

Don’t follow punishments, covenants or Governments.

Don’t follow Religion.

Don’t follow Science.

And especially,

Don’t follow me

 

Because I’m a lyrical paradox, toxic and hypnotic to even my own thoughts.
