Nobody will believe you otherwise

Say you're a president.

Not a king.

If that's true then what's happening in Venezuela? 

You removed a ruthless dictator, yes,

but you just replaced him with another.

 

And what happened to Renee Good the other day?

The mother of 3,

the poet with a whistle.

 

Be honest with yourself,

you're a king that's obsessed with power.

 

If you say you're not,

then prove it.

Nobody will believe you otherwise.

  • A Masterpiece in Binary

    I think there is a glitch in my processing unit; 

    when the letter 'A' enters the system, 

    it doesn't just register as a character—

    it spills out as a deep magenta that dyes the rest of the word.

     

  • Colors I hear

    Aimee Carty. 

    She's my favorite artist.

    Her name is a swirl of blue and pink in my mind,

    but her music-

    oh, her music is such a beautiful blend of all the colors you can name.
