The artist and the poet needs dirt to paint humanity.


 

His eyes were wild

but in him was found the heart of a child.

The souls around him stood amazed

But he was unfazed

Their praise was lost on him.

But the sterilised hearts of his enemies used to cause him grief

they lacked heart they lacked belief

it became evident that as human beings

we need a bit of dirt and not always perfection.

Imperfections made him a character likeable and free

Until him we want to stay and not to see

What it is like to be a real human being!

◄ beyond human (ascension)

We could be one! ►
