Creation Stepping

Creation Stepping

A Poem by Abdul Batin Osman Bey
"

Creation Stepper is a Rastafari term for one who can move within and out side of the babylon system, I thought it suited my lifestyle so I wrote about it.

"

I live between worlds

Between calm warehouse worker and angry poet

Between middle class and homelessness

Between sweet dear angels and low disease ridding w****s

Between soft sobriety and hardcore addiction

Between the smart bookworms and the street smart gangbanger

Between the Capitalist world and the anarchist dream

 

I live

Have always lived

Between worlds

Moving back and forth with ease

A gift

A curse

The only reality I know

The words are completely loud, they shout out and tell the truth. And at the end they are only whispering. . . I've never heard the term 'creation stepper' but I am finding it fascinating.
I most agree with "Between the Capitalist world and the anarchist dream", and with several other lines. You have well expressed yourself.

So well expressed straddling two worlds . We like to think of ourselves as one or the other but not always so. Lovely deep creation stepper interesting can be applied to other things as well.
