Inspired by Alberto Giaocometti's "Three Men Walking", this piece expresses three separate perspectives of the same person, decades apart but still contemplating one another.
{ inspired by "Self Portrait, 'Very Ugly'" by Frida Kahlo }
lyrics
I am privileged expression,
free to light candles and ignore
the pain of color,
or defy the acts of brethren who tread carelessly
upon the thin lines of history and hate.
He is the summation of choice,
goodness grieving for purpose,
charged by love to minimize struggles
and find a hand to share,
a despairing optimist blind to a father’s ideal.
We are inspiration incarnate
and persuade violence across time;
self-treason is the mantra
of destructive enrichment
by mortal gods in search of meaning.
We are dangerous innate delights,
courageously corruptible,
with dreams that cannot die.
