Stride the earth
Different one
Alone
Amongst the crowd
Surrounded
Amongst the mob
One amongst a multitude of many
But never encountering an equal plane
Sing
When others have not or deny
The organs for speech
Dance
When others have not or deny
The legs and feet that go unanswered
Begging walk
See
With eyes receptive to ultra violet and infrared
When others have plucked out the orifices
Steadfast in the common dark
Comforted by the communal blindness
Feel
Seven and eight fold
When others numb and even deny five
It will not be easy for the different ones
Life
Will be filled with ridicule, mockery, and scorn
Death
Will bring understanding, accolade, and fame
None of which you ever wanted
None of which you sought after
The curse would be to fit in
Having seen the truth
Having been born with an ear tuned to frequencies audible to places others debate existence
Different ones can not stop dancing
They have to compromise with the world
They teach others to run
Different ones can not stop singing
They have to compromise with the world
They teach others to yell and scream
Different ones can not unsee
They have no compromise
No one can teach them to be the same
Shine as bright as time and space will allow
Different one
Your purpose is prophet of truth
Amongst priests of lies
Yours is heralding a faraway future
In a present as ancient to you as ten thousand millennia gone of their past
Today was never meant for you
Tomorrow it will be impossible for them to forget.
Shine and be
Different one
