<p align="center" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#333333">Quick-change artist extraordinaire,<br>
I whip out my folded cane<br>
and change from black man to blind man<br>
with a flick of my wrist.<br>
<br>
It is a profound metamorphosis—<br>
>From God gifted wizard of roundball<br>
dominating backboards across America,<br>
To God-gifted idiot savant composer<br>
pounding out chart-busters on a cockeyed whim;<br>
>From sociopathic gangbanger with death for eyes<br>
to all-seeing soul with saintly spirit;<br>
>From rape deranged misogynist<br>
to poor motherless child;<br>
>From welfare-rich pimp<br>
to disability-rich gimp;<br>
And from ‘white man’s burden’<br>
to every man’s burden.<br>
<br>
It is always a profound metamorphosis.<br>
Whether from cursed by man to cursed by God;<br>
or from scriptures condemned to God ordained,<br>
My final form is never of my choosing;<br>
I only wield the wand;<br>
You are the magicians.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
