Why I Challenged The Prince To A Dance Off

We shit

we fuck

we love

we hate

we are all the same

we rise to poetry

we’ve all peed where we shouldn’t have peed

we sink to desperation

we lose ourselves to music

and to anger

we need the sun

we build calendars to the moon

and to emperors

whom we are enslaved to

two thousand years dead

still we look to the stars

we are selfish

we are giving

we need to need

we need to pray

knowing our God

could be anywhere and everywhere

too busy to worry about us today.
