I Saw a Torch

I saw a torch and it was the Lord
saying, "Take my hand and 
put down your swords.
I'll take you down off of your throne
and teach you all the things I know."
but I replied that I was wild
and I would not be coming home.

Revised

Why is my artwork all about me? Yes, it stems from my own personal experience, but there are so many people with far better stories to tell that are more refined in their methods. I guess that's just total self-doubt, but as far as "SamSam and His Superfriends" goes, it's a totally conceited microcosm that is all about Me.
The gallery idea of "Welcome to SamSamland" is warranted in its complete concept, but if my manifesto includes the importance of community and not vaccum, this should be a more communal experience.
However, I am trying to document through this project a serious transition and freeing that I have found in my life. It is an event worth documenting and it should be done alongside the people that got me through it.
I seriously have some of the most skilled friends and cannot wait to write songs and make advertisements and clothes and paintings and films and delicious meals with them.
You're invited.

Protanomaly

Everything's so green
At least, that's what it looks to me
My eyes must need to see
these things so despondently.

The purples and the blues
become interchanging hues
It seems nothing that I knew was ever
what it seemed to be.

I need that red, it bridges
Gaps and filters my incorrect lens
Justifies the present tense
I need red more vast than sea.
