Same name, different poem for July 24, 2009
I am Jewish
Which makes me negative
I am Jesus
Which makes me positively your King twice over
I am Islamic
Which makes me neutral
Because I know that even I am nothing without God
I am not a robber
I have been robbed
I am not a killer
The Reaper is far beyond that
I understand Death
Without having died
I see myself screaming from every rooftop
My face looks back at me
Every way I turn
My fans are in Heaven
And floating along the curb
You all want a piece of me
And I want peace from you
I inspire those in the halls of power
The ivory tower
And even the bedroom
I am the Lion King
And brother cigarette dispenser
The look of paralyzing venom
The taste of lemonade
The voice of pain
The sound of the concrete jungle
The touch of the divine
The broken heart
I know you
I understand you
But I do not understand your hesitance
To find me
Right next to you
For so many years
