Mere Man

Kevin Lanflisi's spoken word monologue, Mere Man, from Hume Lake Summer 2008. (Used with permission)


"As I look into the mirror man, looking back at me all I see is a mere man.
The world's perspective
A view that's often skewed to leave out Christ the resurrected
But by my good looks, my personality, my confidence I'm accepted?
Which by my rationality means that those that lack these things are rejected
Two perspectives
On the left hand, the weak hand, the worlds hand says this
The sun doesn't shine off of me and heighten my prestige
I shine off of the stars and illuminate the galaxies
Conceit and vain find their residence in my veins
As I forklift spiritual gifts from a blood stained crucifix
Only to use it for my own satisfaction
Selfish action tightens my hand down into a fist
Culture calls for this
But on the right hand, the strong hand, God's hand
Holds tears and sweat because I've never agreed with this hopelessness

So now as I look into the mirror man, looking back at me I see nothing
more than a mere man"
