If I take my last breath giving you your first breath, then it would be the best breath I ever took. Give life to someone by supporting their ridiculous dream of changing the world. — Sean King

I teach minds in the belly of the beast
reach souls in dark times
rescue spirits from their downward spiral
save children before their dreams are dashed
give hope to the hopeless
restore belief in the collective
resuscitate faith in love

I am unseen
unheard of
not even a figment of the imagination,
shuffled from shelters to streets
streets to bridges
bridges to bus stops
bus stops to shadows,
from shadow to shadow
leaving nothing more
than words,
author unknown
I am a dreamer
bitten by dogs
beaten by batons
chased by hoods
hosed by hate
incarcerated by injustice
fighting for the freedom of humanity
from my jail cell

I am a poet
the glimmer of light in darkness
the last hope for our kind
the unknown author of 1000 poems
that no one will read
unless I take 100 lives, or
rape 1000 dreams
to build my billion dollar empire,
only then will they care about my story
only then will they read my manifesto
of words,

So much beauty gets missed because we only see the money maker and the murderer. ~ Sean King aka the Author Unknown
The Forgotten Poet
A Letter to 2012 (Goodbye)
2012, you have reacquainted me with some family and friends I thought I might have lost forever. You have brought some new people into my life that have helped remind me of the importance of pursuing my dreams. You have allowed me to stand side by side with loved ones as they quietly fell into the grasp of eternal peace. You have shown me both the best and worst of humanity while helping me to understand the purpose of my gifts.
2012, you have introduced me to my brothers and sisters all over the world and made it clear that we are all interconnected. You have allowed me to see a world without hate through the eyes of my children. You helped me to get rid of my regrets, to walk courageously in the face of fear, to forgive unconditionally, and to embrace each moment. You have replaced my pain with hope, my doubt with resolve, and have set me on the path of love. You have obliterated my ideas of family and love and replaced them with something far more beautiful. You have pointed me in the direction of freedom.
2012, you mean the world to me and I will always remember what you’ve taught me, but it’s time for us to part ways. It’s time for me to take what you’ve taught me and to apply it as I walk the path in front of me. Tomorrow can no longer wait for me, so I bid you farewell 2012.
Humbly and With Love,
Sean King
