Mitwaly Osman - The Bold Voice of a Rebel 🎤

I’m real cool, <br />I left school, <br />I lurk late, <br />I strike straight, <br />I sing sin, <br />I drink Gin, <br />I jazz June, <br />and I die soon! <br /> <br />And the Wild Regrets, <br />And the Bloody Sweats, <br />When none knew to well than I, <br />For who lives more lives than one, <br />More deaths than one must die! <br /> <br />And I find peace, <br />I hear angels, <br />I see the stars sparking with diamonds, <br /> <br />And I see the Best of Minds of my generation <br />in their worst of times <br />In the Age of Foolishness <br />And the Season of Darkness <br />Giving their Spring of Hopes <br />to the Winter of Despair <br /> <br />Acting cool, <br />Leaving school, <br />Lurking late, <br />Striking straight, <br />Singing sin, <br />Drinking Gin, <br />Jazzing June, <br />then dying soon! <br /> <br />And I say now, the people <br />As some lessons repeated <br />Now, the lights are off, to myself <br />As a lover, or at the cold wind <br />‘Let your rapid lives be a graph of me’ <br /> <br />Copyright ©2009 Mitwaly Osman<br /><br />Mitwaly Osman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/genius-among-fools/
