thirty-six
i don't like crowds
not a fan of cliques
pleasantries for the sake of pleasantries
battles without a real fight
when one pretends that they don't see the other
i don't like poverty
old folks who clean tables
sit on bridges to sell tissue paper
rummaging through bins for tin cans
the older i get, the more i dislike the place i live in
nothing is really equal except on paper like myth
people are never colour blind but they say there are
friends become numbers for self worth
privilege by association
i like honesty
people who are genuine
those that speak their mind
not a herd
one that is kind
with immense awareness
those who know how to love
and will love freely
no prejudice
no judgements
no fear
just know how to love
i don't think i how to to truly love then
because i still have fear
and i close my eyes and imagine
that fear is nothing but self-made prophecy
living in us to stop us from what we could become
and how the world around us
would then be the place we would love to live in.
