Saul Williams: | |
Please Mr. Nichols come back inside the window | |
I can't promise you anything, but I trust that there is far greater reason to live | |
I know you've become disheartened and disillusioned by the current state of affairs | |
Your stocks are falling, your investments have failed you | |
The man from whom you took orders has been ordered to jail by his and your subordinates | |
You question what is this world coming to | |
What is the profit margin when you're forced to pander to the marginalized | |
Where's the glory you dreamt of as a child.. | |
Dressed as a cowboy, your play gun pointed at real targets | |
Your mother, holding her tongue as your father consoles her with the words.. | |
“it's just boy stuff” | |
Well | |
You joined his fraternity, you grew into his old suits | |
You acquired his beliefs, you embodied his dreams and with them his oversights. | |
How long did you think it would last? | |
It's just a matter of time. | |
The world is far from over. | |
Look... | |
Your mother outlives your father, | |
Your sister outlives your brother. | |
And if you jump from this window today.. | |
She'll also outlive you. | |
Look at her, sitting in her midwestern home, tuned into Oprah once again | |
Today, she learns to meditate on a second-hand couch. | |
Meanwhile, you stand outside this window | |
Twelve stories above the ground | |
One story remaining untold... | |
You contemplate the setting sun, | |
Unaware of your disorientation. | |
Dis-orient: turned away from the east. | |
The shifting current seems to conspire against you. | |
Mr. Nichols, you fail to see that you've always stood outside of this window, perched on the threshold of oblivion. | |
Countless man made stories above the truth | |
For so long you've stood facing the setting sun | |
Mistaking the complimentary unified duality of nature as being right or wrong | |
Good or evil | |
God or devil | |
Mr. Nichols instead of stepping from this ledge into the downfall of your up rise | |
Why not just turn around | |
Lessen the intensity of your western glare and face the rising sun | |
Note the energy swirling from its center | |
How it illumines us all and only the birds fly first class... | |
There is your inheritance! | |
The warmth of a kiss | |
Invest your tongue into the mouth of mystery | |
Allow her breath to seep into your lungs and surrender to her touch and guidance | |
There's no other way | |
Your dreams of dominance will only help you forsake yourself | |
While your family continues its search for understanding | |
And your daughters outlive your sons... |
