Deglamorized-or-missupposed
|
My name is not important! Dandy has always been my casual style Some have even called me a hobo of love, but, What tramp stumbles upon a mastery of affections That no other person has not already mastered? OH! Here I go, Not meaning to tie you off With all these silly hang ups, but; A wheelbarrow full of nuts makes More sense than empty cardboard boxes. Shall I find fame hopping trains? In the derailment of who I am? Since a picture is worth a thousand words, Am I not better off keeping my mouth shut, And allowing imagery to paint me skin deep? Convict! I heard some a calling But I am only one crying in hunger. Ignorant lot! And to think a lack of knowledge is a crime, Especially when ignorance of the law is no excuse. (Excepting that which can be brought) But, how does ignorance earn anything, Lest more know what to do with it? For I am told that it cast money to be Politically mis-educated by someone, |
So how then, can unschooled ignoranceEver be wrong? Maybe it is the dislike of enlightenment That keeps them from seeing real worth, And spitting out residual scum. Acid reflux is a perfect example of Not having to swallow a bitter pill, But truth will not spew forth From tabooed bitten lips. For even justice! An often-ranted pontificated message That is intentionally misconstrued to fool those Of us accused of being ignorant. Punning around in the fact that Justice stands for, just them, and not, just us. Meaning has lost its appeal For how else can sight alone lessen a man? Belittlement has no home of its own And can only be found resting on The roof on an untamed tongue! Until its own voice is heard, Fleeing from the glory of glamour’s cage… Rasikh’ – Abdul- Hakeem UCI |
