Children of the Night
by Saul Williams
I can't embed links yet (I'm a nooblet) but I'll come back and embed the video soon. Hearing and watching him doesn't really compare to the words on their own, but here is a piece of the poem.
"if you're serving the father
there's no son without mother
parent bodies discover
water bodies and drown
wade me in the water
'til Atlantis is found
on the sea floors of self
I'm starfish and unbound
heard that name of that
mound is stone mountain
underwater volcanoes erupt
water fountains of youth
let's us carnal the equation,
cancel out wind and truth
swirl me beyond sometimes
drench me water proof
let eve drop forever
rain sunsets on my roof
as I sit on the front porch of my sanity
deciphering hambones to
Van Gogh this vanity
oiled egos
canvased and framed
to be reborn unborn unburied unnamed
a reflection through a blood
stained glass window
of souls gone yellow around the edges"
