Unmet

You and I will never meet Not on this go 'round at least But if you were to ask my advice From what I've learned in this life The lines what follow I'd concede Set to a rock 'n roll beat: Don’t put your faith in no man He’s trying to do what he can To get you to believe in his way Just so you do what he say That’s a goddam charlatan Don’t waste faith on any man Don’t you trust a lady Who want to rock you like a baby She drips her words like honey So you give her your money And get to feeling half crazy No don’t you trust that lady Church or government or company Ain’t got time for you and me They live a life of their own Need to say how much they’ve grown Institutional control must be They might die if we’re too free Love whoever you must love Love whichever spirit’s up above Love your body and your mind Love the earth and sea and sky Don’t worry about moving up Love is love and that’s enough June 15, 2019
