The Carrot that Made All the Difference

Lactantius, Divine Institutes, France, fifteenth century 

 

Folio 243: God Breathing Intellect into the Human Soul in Paradise; Portrait of the Author

Among the many beasts of the forest 

 

I live in harmony 

 

I try and fit in 

 

I come in with comradery 

 

But I stick out like a sore thumb 

 

Give me respect I feel like I earned some 

 

Half the human race aimed for my murder, 

 

The other half worshipped me like a god 

 

But I just want to live in peace as I was originally intended, 

 

It’s crazy cause the whole history about me is a facade 

 

Began as a simple animal, one of many, 

 

However when I look around I see none with the weapon I possess,

 

None with the dignity I possess. 

 

I became an ideal, a myth 

 

Still trying to find where I best fit 

 

Fuck being your gift to the king, 

 

Fuck being your myth with wings, 

 

Fuck being the one to make them sing, 

 

Fuck being the source of little girls’ dreams. 

 

I’m an animal just like any other 

 

Only I’m infinitely chasing a white carrot I’ll never reach, but is always in vision

 

I’m no myth, I actually existed, 

 

Believing me or not is your own decision.
