John Alexis Cooper I’M AN ABOMINATION I’m an abomination that has nothing to lose when I hit, but have everything to win when I do. I’m an abomination with a black, stormy cloud over my head, with thunder, lightning, and rain in the daylight, just for all of u. I’m an abomination from the cradle to the grave, from the womb to the tomb. I’m an abomination all my life long, from me to you. It’s like a breath of air in space and land and the Milky Way— this is the best gift from the darkest corners of Hell in the name of Jesus, I did not do this for me, this is the devil’s apology for being bad all this time, I just say “thank you.” I’m an abomination in airspace, for God can have his right-hand man back in his life before that idiotic time of war. I’m an abomination and Hell is all mine for the cultivations of making Hell a place like Heaven, this will even out their score. I’m an abomination, all out here in airspace, having fun scaring you with the truth. I’m an abomination letting you all know how true this is…what we are, outside bright-eyed, beautiful and bushy-tailed. Guess what? Inside, we are uglier than sin. Don’t believe me? Ask the youth. I’m an abomination. This one fact about my footprints in life, I must share. I’m an abomination, in the name of Jesus I must confess I looked in a mirror on the fly. I must say what I saw. Damn. Now I’m scared. I’m an abomination, if this is my choice to be in life, just let it be and with each other there shall be no strife. I’m an abomination. My reason for this is that you must crawl before you walk. 22
