Analysis of I Am He

I Am He

I am he
the he who prevents me from being
the kind and gentle man
society both heeds and yet shuns

yes indeed
I am he

It is because
I am angry
and oftentimes a cantankerous one
who decrees the values of yesteryears
smiting the present generation's
insanities
catastrophies
atrocities

I am he
walking amongst those who
blend God with well meaning justifications called sin

yes indeed
I am he

the one who seems to have
an opinion about everything
calling a spade a spade
a brother a brother
a heathen a heathen
a wolf in sheep's clothing

calling out those who
sit before the stage
yielding nothing more than
rotten and useless fruit
with crowns and hands raised

yes indeed
I am he

so where does this leave me
within these final days
do my decrees equate to finishing well

I think not

how Lord do I obey thee
how do I love lambs and sheep
who both praise and deny thee

but aren't we all
broken and misunderstood temporaries
within the convenient or abiding wisdoms we choose
making headway down either
narrow or broadened paths

yes indeed
I am he
we are we
exactly or far adrift from the whom
God created us to be

according to the Good Book
