Kanye West is putting some very bleak and ominous thoughts out into the world.
The rapper published a new poem about his death, which many have found to be very dark and disturbing.
Taking to Instagram, he posted the poem, titled “Death,” which featured lines like:
“No one wanted to tell me I was DEAD / And only people that would talk to me were in my head,” “No one wanted to tell me I was DEAD / Only people who loved me visit in their dreams instead,” “My kids would dance for me in a home I once led,” “I found out one day at the newsstand in pergatory [sic] there was a front page article of my murderers [sic] story,”
“I was so surprised at what it said / This info is for the living / And surprise… You’re DEAD.”
Kanye accompanied this with a caption, in which he wrote:
“I feel already compromised that I have to justify my expression after over 20 years of art that I’ve contributed to the planet but I also see the need to make sure we as a species are allowed to still feel anything Men not allowed to cry celebrities not allowed to cry
I will not explain this new piece for the explanation destroys the mystery and magic of true love and puts it in a box that can be counted Art is subjective Art only works when it is the artist absolute truth Someone’s truth can be another persons lie We don’t all have to feel the same because we are not the same With out further ado I present to you my latest creation it is called DEAD.”
