That's what i really am

a candle in the wind,

a vest in the cold,

a fire place in the desert,

a fan on a mountain,

that's what i really am.

 

a red snapper in a lake,

a tilapia in the sea,

a dolphin on land,

a cat in the forest.

that's what i really am.

 

asparagus in afghanistan,

sugar snaps in pakistan,

an orchad in Somalia,

lettuce in tanzania.

that's what i really am.

 

a priest in hell,

a homo in heaven,

a master treated like a slave,

a prince living in a cave.

that's what i really am.

 

judaism in Mecca,

Islam in Jerusalem,

buddhism in Delhi,

hinduism in Bangkok.

that's what i really am.

 

corruption in England,

Discrimination in Finland,

patriotism in Liberia,

justice in Nigeria.

that's what i really am.

Clever, this definitely goes against the grain. It finds meaning in all the contradictions. The speaker of this poem is many things, but mostly a revolutionary with a lonely vision. This is a very intelligent write. Parts are sad, others are almost funny, like the asparagus line. You many places, starting small, and going broader. I liked this quite a bit. Good job.

Wow! This poem is so to the point and I love it!

This is a very well written piece. I like the words of being in this one. I think the similarities to all things truly help us become who we are. Well done.
