fauxcroft

I could have been a bad ass

I could have chosen to be mean

But I understood that having a choice

I could literally be anything

So becoming a tough guy, a target for all

Was not something that I needed

And would make me look just a fool

So rather than starting fights with people I see

I chose to take on corporations

And governments and the rich through poetry

I decided to align myself with questioning power

And showing how the rich make the rest of us cower

Exposing their corruption and predatory ways

And I’ll keep on doing this until I die or things change

I won’t fit into stereotypes of what a real man is

Truth be known those who claim this are as vulnerable as shit

But what you see is what you get, when you know me

I am deeply rooted in anarcho-spiritual existentialist philosophies

And so I do not need to act like a tough macho man

I made mistakes in the past, that I now understand

It’s good to feel your emotions, and to care and to love

To expose your heart and soul and being as vulnerable as fuck

Because I am my own authority, who owns what I choose to be

I fight for the rights of those less fortunate than me.
