The Magic Wand
 <http://lynnmanning.com/images/26.The_Magic_Wand.mp3> As spoken by Lynn
Manning

Quick-change artist extraordinaire,
I whip out my folded cane
and change from black man to blind man
with a flick of my wrist.

It is a profound metamorphosis-
>From God gifted wizard of roundball
dominating backboards across America,
To God-gifted idiot savant composer
pounding out chart-busters on a cockeyed whim;
>From sociopathic gangbanger with death for eyes
to all-seeing soul with saintly spirit;
>From rape deranged misogynist
to poor motherless child;
>From welfare-rich pimp
to disability-rich gimp;
And from 'white man's burden'
to every man's burden.

It is always a profound metamorphosis.
Whether from cursed by man to cursed by God;
or from scriptures condemned to God ordained,
My final form is never of my choosing;
I only wield the wand;
You are the magicians.
