What song shall I sing | |
when in need | |
When all I have | |
is the need to be free. | |
What can I write | |
what can I say | |
What’s there to do | |
but kneel down and pray. | |
I’m tired, I’m sore, | |
I’m mad, I’m bored, | |
I need to relax, to relax, | |
to relax. | |
I need to be free | |
to be free to love | |
To be free to do | |
what I’m capable of. | |
I need to know | |
to Know for sure | |
What’s there in this world | |
That’s clean and pure. | |
Are there others besides me | |
that care at all | |
Is there another | |
near whom I’ll stand tall. | |
And what of the others | |
who aren’t like me | |
I wonder about those | |
that don’t long to be free. | |
I wonder about those | |
that don’t touch above | |
The stars in the sky | |
or a world full of love. | |
[This blog post is a variance from my usual poetry posting (off of my poems page). My “Poems” page contains links to my poems, some of my favorite poems and speeches, and the lyrics to some of my favorite songs. In this case, rather than a simple informational introduction containing a link to the poem, I’m listing the poem on a blog post as well as on the separate page. In the past, I had almost no hits from post readers going on to the poems, so this is simply an experiment to see if hits are a function of location or interest. My expectation is that hits are correlated to both, but we’ll see… — KMAB] | |

I’ll be damned if I’ll love just to love — there’s got to be more to it than that. | |
