    I?

    Mountains will fall, and the sun shall recede from view before you know who I am.

     

    What am I?

    Whom do you see?

    Am the the reflection of your worst intentions or the product of your greatest invention?

    Am I the man you see or an image of the facade you want me to represent?

    Am I a man with a black soul or a black man without a soul?

    Am I strong because I prey on your weakness or weak because I refuse to submit to your strengths.

    Am I capable of love or incapable of wanting to be loved?

    Am I willing to die for the right to live or unwilling to live for the right to die?

    What am I?

    Whom do you see?

    Why do you feel the desire to venture into a place without an escape?

    Why do you prod at the caged lion yet recoil in horror when the lion escapes?

    Why is your greatest need only to me a trifling want?

    Why do you smile in my presence when your eyes refuse to grin?

    Why are you so curious to discover what you, in your present soul state, cannot begin to comprehend?

    Why do you preach to me when the prophets have already tried and failed?

    What am I?

    Whom do you see?

    When will you find within your soul what I have lost in mine?

    When will you stop mocking the gods and face the full fury of their wrath in order to truly walk in the light of The Supreme God?

    When will you prepare to live in my world for one day knowing full well you will not walk away unscathed?

    When will your words of earthly affirmation evolve into a treaty of your soul's confirmation?

    When will you stop living within the crucible of your pseudo reality and finally face the harsh light of existing within the reality of your self-made act of constriction?

    When will you pray without consequence yet be prepared to live with the consequences of your prayers?

    What am I?

    Whom do you see?

    Do you think you know me truly?

    Do you wonder why I have no desire to allow you any closer?

    Do you ask of yourself what you demand of me?

    Do you truly believe, and if so are you prepared to look into my eyes and survive based on that belief?

    Do you dabble in the cesspool of demons and yet allow the waters of March to purify your excess frivolities?

    Do you aceept what you cannot control or attempt to control what you refuse to accept?

    What am I?

    Whom do you see?

    Am I among the living? How do you know?

    Am I living among the dead? How can you confrim without being prepared to die?

    Am I a child of man or the child of the Sun?

    Am I the voice you hear or the voice that whispers in your dreamscape?

    Am I free to live or must I die to be free?

    Am I your redemption or your feeble accusation?

    What am I?

    Whom do you see?

    It is not I that you see. Only, what I allow you to see. That is my assurance that only I can destroy me and that you can destroy me if only I allow you to.

    What am I? Your greatest dream or your worst nightmare.

    Whom do you see? All, or nothing at all.
