Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xoxothepoet/ Life IncarnateWritten October 1, 2014We are remembered for our failuresFor our inabilityTo do something correctlyArtistsAre only known after they’re deadAnd politicians, God forbidAlways blame everything on one anotherUtopiaIs a false misconceptionPerfectionIs nothing more than being who you areIf we treated each other with respectParents wouldn’t have to bury their childrenThis generationIs a compilationOf beautiful ingenuityAnd mismatched socksI remember when we all played in the same sandboxWith the same innocencePlastered on our clothesWe finger-painted our souls with SharpiesThe permanence held strongAt least until we stopped being youngAnd our view pointsStarted pointing fingers at one anotherEven though we were told that staring is rudeAnd pointing is wrongAnd you have to take responsibility for everything you’ve doneBut this is not the caseOur wide eyes will keep gawkingLike we are six years old at a candy storeWanting to taste the sensation of a lollipop too big for our hands to holdWe are all cut from the same moldSculpted by the hands of our ancestorsWith nicks and chipsScratched on our life sized surfaceBecause we all fell when we rode our bikes for the first timeAnd we all danced with rulers between our stomachsArms locked stiffWaiting for a hurricane of musicTo let our young bones give wayTo the weight of expectations on our shouldersWe are not AtlasWe cannot bear to carry that boulderBut we could care lessAbout dancing across a stage in our underwearWe care more about people getting shot and our troops getting murderedWhoever said we were selfish?They don’t know about half the things we believe inNor do they care to trust our reasoningThis world is going to keep spinningEven if it needs an oxygen maskTo keep living
