Lost

CATEGORY

life

I stumble upon my mistakes

like a thief in the night

blindly

without a clue

episodes that repeat

as often as the rain

I am lost

somewhere

within a million raindrops

I exist

but to die

my footprint visible

only in death

I am

the progeny

of a thousand sons

borne

of a thousand daughters

darkened of the earth

I am

alpha and omega

pharos to the pharaohs

I am lost

yet

I am found

desecrated

and despised

spit upon

and scorned

I am

a constant reminder

of that

which you are not

I am

king of kings

I am black

and I am lost
