Xzyzst (Exist)

From Write or Die by Byron Wilson (author's profile)

Xzyzst (exist)

I am not a black man
that ended up gay in prison.
I am of the many gay black man,
that ended up massively incarcerated
in America, along with the rest of
the other black men in my generation.

I am not who or what I am
because I was molested as a child.
I was molested as a child
because some people chose
to have sex with children
in America in the black community.

The only thing I have chosen
was not to be converted into
ideologies that are anti-ethical
to my nature.
For my sexuality is not based
on free will, granted by angone.
So having a problem with this
is the choice made by others.

I do not exist as
a result of any theological ideology,
neither do I exist as
a result of a scientific discovery.
I exist as an irrefutable fact, I am,
for where not ever confidence
is required for my quality of being and
being actual.
Therefore, constituting ignorance as
a treatable condition and stupidity
as a choice for so-called know-it-alls.

Hey Xzyzst,

Thanks for sharing this. I admire you and Byron for the work you do! It's inspiring. "I exist as an irrefutable fact, I Am..." I love it! Can you tell Byron that I forgot my login to this website so I had to sign up with my other email address? If he sent me any messages lately I'm not able to retrieve them since they're under my old account. I made sure to keep the same user name though. Tell Byron I will send pics soon :)

Thanks,

Safiya
