I want to celebrate you.
You
Likely
Hate
Me
Me
Other
Than
You.
I, longing
To understand
What is
So different?
Tribal
Considerations
Lizard brain
Differential
Transmission
Interrupted.
Interpretation
Lost by
Translation
Filter.
Blame
Always
Laid at
Others feet.
What to do?
What to do?
I want more
From you
Than your
Hatred.
I want more
For you
Than your
Despair.
I care
For your
Loss.
The American
Dream in
Your mind
Taken from
You by
An other.
Though realized
By someone
In your
Family tree.
Or you would
Not be here.
With your
Protestations
Against other
For the same
Desires that
Made for your
Own Creation
Story.
I want to celebrate you
But first
You must
Love yourself
Better.
Your father’s
Pain manifest.
Your
Addictions
Endemic
Of desires
Unfulfilled,
Of longing
Unrealized.
First you
Must free
Yourself.
Be open
To acceptance.
Accept that
No one is
Stopping you
From being you.
We simply ask the
Same from you.
We can agree to disagree.
But, that will never be
enough. We must strive for something better.
I’ll invent a new language that helps me speak kindly to you even if you give me hatred in return;
a peaceful protest.
Let me
serve
both these fatty cheeks
together to you and offer
my complete submission to your anger.
You will call me weak
while you feast on my offering,
drumming on my empty skull
with authoritarian clubs, me,
And the masses
churning,
fleshless skulls
begging
for your understanding.
From the rhythm of your beatings
we chant your praises, we celebrate you, for we know that it is our difference
that makes us stronger
and LOVE will make
US invincible.
