UNIVERSAL SPIRIT

When I was Ra
you held me in awe
and were afraid

later on
you began to swirl
and you cut yourself
for me

with excesses of zeal
you made others to suffer
vicariously

I kept silent

nowadays
you see me in the city
sometimes with my dog
and a blanket

and I want you to recognise me
but you don't
