Who are We?

WE ascertain you

the voice of a cuckoo

asserted.

Who are WE?

Soliloquized me.

 

WE?

WE make it our business

to know your business

WE create heroes

like MLK the dead hero

recites the cuckoo.

 

Electric wires ignite fire in my head

The agony makes me plead to be dead

Stop!  I beg

as currents jolt my leg

You don’t play ball

with men tall

Do you want to be a dead symbol

or keep playing the cymbal?

 

My brain is burning

while learning

about the enigmatic WE

and the minute me

a wiggling worm in a fastidious net

long ago set.

 

WE oversee you

reaffirmed the cuckoo

WE?

My voice wound like a toy

by the mystic WE.

 

WE write the script

or rewrite the script

as WE deem the case to be

WE set the stage

WE manage the play

The role you play!

Commanded the cuckoo.

 

WE hold the light

that guides your path

Illuminate

or illusions WE create.

 

WE are the monkey

superior in this jungle

the cuckoo claims.

 

 

MLK—Dr. Martin Luther King (the African American Civil Rights leader in the early 1960s).
