Unique-o (2008)A Poem by Elijah GleavesA shout out to all the leaders who were never followers
You there!
Boy, with the no-name polo And the hand-me-down jeans! You may not know it but you’re an inspiration. Of course on the surface you look average and You have no great life achievements, But you’re an inspiration anyway. Because you are who you are: A weirdo. Then again you’re no ordinary weirdo, In fact, you’re a stone cold weirdo- So cold your blood is actually liquid nitrogen, And like Africans with blonde hair, and Obese vegetarians, You’ve become a living breathing contradiction. However, in a world made of plastic You’ve remained its sole natural resource. Despite the fact you’re surrounded by rhinestones, Dentures and breast implants you’ve found a way to stay Real. So when others sneer at you
And degrade you with chants of “Weirdo, Weirdo!” Mask your face with a smile And silently chant back at them: “ Unique-o, Unique-o!” © 2011 Elijah GleavesReviews
