They say I don't count because I'm strange you see
a little vain
a little insane
a little plain
but not
I've seen birds flitter and twitter
the art of a criminal
style of he and she
often I wonder where to be
When I set off on a journey
voyage
adventure
where I land nobody knows
where I go I never show
I am a wanderer but I'm not lost
I have an illness
it's called curiosity
it takes me places where danger May lurk
but danger is a teacher
It teaches
it's teaching provide insight on life
the people
the people
they lie
they die
minds so devine
thoughts quite fractious
pompous dreams smothering a town
broken hearts swallowing you and I
digesting our souls through time
I'm strange you see
so they say I don't count
But that's me
Maybe I'll go
find somewhere new
a catalyst for change that should be you


The author's comments:
the beat or rythm or whatever you call it, was inspired by Langston Hughes's "theme for english B"(amazing poem by the way)
