An old poem that I found sitting in my computer hard-drive. It was unfinished, so I decided to add to it a ‘lil bit. So here goes…

***

You say,
Bow with humility and challenge not,
Those who master the knowledge of life.
Then tell me, am I an arrogant fool?
These questions within, I cannot silence...

You say,
Follow with utmost faith and traverse not,
Save the way of those who have departed,
Would you then think I’m a lost sheep?
For I chose my own path and walk in solitude.

You say,
You are but shame and a temptation of life,
Who stain a man’s heart with lustful desires.
Ah, whose soul is it that I have wronged?
For I’ve only desired the sun upon my skin.

You say,
Submit and raise not voice over him, your leader,
Whom He has created a degree over you.
I wonder, my friend, if I am then a rebel?
That equality I will forever strive for.

You say, you say, and you say,
‘Til eternity will have gone by
Never will you choose to hear,
What my heart always longs to say.
