Clay

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Apr 04, 2021 

Clay.
Clay People.
Malleable.
Time/location
sculpts.
Shapes.
Forms.
Dictates.
Anyone,
anything.
Easily 
manipulated,
controlled.
Time/location,
determines.
Determines
what
we be.
Who
we are!
Hunter/gatherer.
Greek
Philosopher.
Knight
in shining
armor.
Astronaut.
When and
where
determine.
Accident
of birth!
Language
spoken.
God
worshiped.
Nationality.
Location,
ordained.
Accident
of birth!
Time and
location
dictate
terms.
Clay People.
What are
Clay People?
Who are
Clay People?
Who are you?
Well,
that depends.
