The poem “A Tool of Lucy” presents a chilling narrative of a soul ensnared by sin, embodying the archetype of a cold-hearted predator who spiritually and emotionally devastates others. Through its vivid imagery and raw confession, the poem invites exploration of profound philosophical and biblical themes: the nature of evil, the consequences of free will,

“At a young age, he was forced to prevail through hell, throwing pennies into the wishing well, hoping the wishes would heal the scars on his fleshy shell…” “At a young age, he was forced to prevail through hell, throwing pennies into the wishing well, hoping the wishes would heal the scars on his fleshy

Introduction I am joseph le artist, an artist unravelling the depths of human existence, yet I find myself haunted by a poem that paints the streets in blood and despair. The “roadmen” it describes—lost youths shaped by violence and fatherless homes—are more than figures in an urban tragedy. They are a mirror to a world

The poet’s words—“The weight of God’s glory / leaves me hunchbacked, like Notre-Dame. / Still, I am capable of withstanding / and bearing the glorious pain / from the colossal weight in my mind”—strike at the heart of a profound philosophical tension: the encounter between the finite human self and the infinite divine.

The Quiet Triumph of the authentic youth In certain corners of the world, virtue is punished before it is ever rewarded. To be young, sharp-minded, and clean-handed is to invite contempt. The clever boy who reads instead of robbing, the girl who dreams in metaphors instead of carrying a blade—these are branded as inauthentic, as outsiders to “real” life. Purity becomes a stain; a blank criminal record, a mark of shame. In the economy of the streets, innocence has no currency. Only spilled blood buys respect. This inversion of values is not new. Societies have always had their rites of passage, their sacrificial altars. What changes is the idol on the altar. Where once we demanded the young prove themselves through courage, discipline, or creation, some subcultures now demand proof through destruction—preferably of someone else, but of the self if necessary. To refuse that offering is to be cast out as “uncool,” as someone who has not truly lived.Yet the poem reminds us of a colder truth: the grave is the great equalizer, and it does not negotiate. The villainous youth who chased the dragon of reputation often find it first—six feet deep before the story has properly begun. Their names become cautionary tales whispered by the next generation, fairy tales with real corpses. Meanwhile, the ones who were mocked for keeping their hands clean, for defining life through “the void and darkest weather” without adding to the darkness—they endure. Quietly. Uncelebrated. Alive.There is a deep philosophical irony here. The path that promises immediate belonging, adrenaline, and mythic status leads most reliably to oblivion. The path that offers only the cold shoulder in the present grants the only thing that ultimately matters: a future. Authenticity, it turns out, is not measured by how loudly the crowd cheers in your twenties, but by whether you are still breathing in your thirties to tell a different story.The authentic youth prevail not because destiny favors them, not because some cosmic justice intervenes, but because they refuse to trade the infinite possibilities of a long life for the fleeting applause of a culture already burning itself out. In the end, the ones who seemed most alive were only hurrying toward death. The ones dismissed as mediocre inherited the only victory that cannot be taken away: tomorrow.
