Identity Replaced

Amidst the glamorous clamour of

Reality star presidents

and the sudden resurgence of artists

Under the macerating context of tragedy

                                                                                                          I find

                                                                                                          myself stranded.

                                                                                                          I find myself.

Enter higher learning with no notion

A pondfish in the ocean

     Come to realize that identity

     Is but a false entity

         And the only bulwark

         Against such misbelief

              Is the alchemy of genuine thought

              Wrapped in a befriended sheath

                                   Strides are made

                                        My skin glows bolder

                                               With new friends on my shoulder

                                                    And with the best of us now gone and going

                                                           New greatness must be sewn
