About

-a genius of the stars
Like Nina Simone- Born of the stars- I too a star child I forgive- white
Men their slavery- had I been white — I too a slaver
And in my time the Pharaoh was black —
Where I hardened my heart — it was to let in light — the darker —
The more persuasive.
And in these streets modern — these streets I drive insane-
I wish to sculpture — expression- to harness haste —and patience-
Love even prejudice- so that I- may —imprison it- in conscience
And forgive.
Lacerated- and now I pity myself- I have not gone far- before I infant
Wail and so many white- and so many images- and so much pain.
I state — universal nation — I come late to fascism — I spent long hours
Masturbating- but eventually I was chosen- to find psychic lust-
And I have raped- and I have killed- and I have devoured- immortal
Flesh I have whined on piss and sentiments- belched ego to the heart-
All this- hunted gathering — I hounded a self- made savage- by fearing
Not to know and loathing to be schooled- partially- of affected to go low
To a medium height-
Humility it was a failing- and in Liberal eyes- I see that-
Blue eyes- that forgave me- my hate- I could not forgive their failing-
For fifty million souls lost to the oceans of slavery- I no longer wish
Revenge I dictate from my mogul power
All blacks- I stand a prince- I come above- I shower the light of my
Heart and terrible — I command forgive- It is a prince- not a Pharaoh-
There shall be no more kings- that commands you- forgive-
For the end- there shall be no power- and no high and no low- I go

Human.
