Neophyte
What if we had blood, white as milk?
If from birth, at perfect, untouched, unblemished innocence,
We had blood fairer than fresh snow.
What if we had blood that reflected our guilt and conscience?
Veins darkening and rotting away under midnight blood.
Would it be common practice to prick yourself, reveal yourself?
Would we see blood whiteners in the same aisle as teeth whiteners and hair bleach?
Would it be a requirement for job interviews?
Would the police use it as an excuse as to why they did nothing to help?
If people were born with milk white blood, we would do what we’ve always done:
Judge without learning the story, the circumstances, the context.

Sofia Coppola was called a 'neophyte' in an article written about her after The Godfather Part III came out.
The majority of people who exist in the world are 'proletariat' and they probably will NEVER get out of that status, nor will their offspring.....YET these are the people who have the MOST offspring. Make it make sense.
The word 'coterie' was mentioned in the songs of two Disney animated films in the 90s. How coincidental can that possibly be?
'Caste' is what everyone is, not racist. Mind your tongue. I look at Bangtan and how they themselves have not changed, yet they are now treated differently all of a sudden because their status changed. They NOW deserve respect. Why? Status is all people really care about. What class are you in? Where are you allowed to sit? I've met so many people this week that would tell me their title RIGHT AFTER they told me their name, as if it's a part of their identity, and that's because IT IS. You are your status, you are what you represent, that's all people see......(or that's all they want to see). Try your best to represent something positive.
I finally after almost 5 years looked up the lyrics to "Ddaeng". I know what the song is about now. 'Onomatopoeia' is used a lot! I'm certain that if I understood Korean I would not like Bangtan as much as I do.

Mistigram: if you're curious just why Neophyte drew an #ANSIart logo for "Twisted Toilet Paper Productions", he pre-emptively shrugged in this logo from a colly included in our MIST0896 artpack collection released 27 years ago this month!
