let us create something complicated
something so explicit within means
that adheres to no set rhyme or reason
occasionally coloring outside the borders
the binds in the pages and the imaginary lines
yes the ones we draw to coincide
with the feeling of security we feel when
we do something that is outrageous
and contagious because it sparks an interest
in the general public eye perhaps your friends
or your foes or the people who look to you
for praise or prose because you know the angle of your nose
pardon me i will never adhere to the sticky side of that name tag
for i am saved by love and suspended by grace
the love YOU have made involves me in the lives of everyone around me.
so let me grace YOUR face with mine
so i can shine and live to die
and die to live in YOUR name and not mine
oh FATHER my FATHER listen to these words
and read through the thick and the thin by which
and oh by the way,
when will YOU come back to save me and my brothers
and my family of lovers who call themselves YOUR people
yet deny YOU with everything they do and say
and might i add,
i'm smack dab in the middle of everything i've come to hate
so lets press on running towards YOUR reflection
in the mirror we've placed with haste to take up the space
so we can see YOUR face and forget about YOU in silly rhymes
because we no longer have the time for YOU and YOUR word
so lets make it ours! remove the hand for the hours!
we'll never know fate again. we'll never see in YOUR time
until our time has come
what else is there left to say?
i haven't said anything.
i never will.
where will this begin?
