Leave People Alone...



hate me like me love me,
it really doesnt matter to me.
i am who i am,
life be damned.
all of us different,
with space in the mind for rent,
thoughts lasting only a moment.
writing what we feel,
hoping to heal.
sharing the happiness & pain,
sheltering from the rain.
sophistication many write,
trying to win a losing fight.
typing big words,
forgetting songs from the birds.
division i see,
for freedom i plea.
global warming a lie,
still blue is the sky.
rising waters a myth,
people pleading the fifth.
so many with a agenda,
with one huge flaw;
man cant destroy,
what God created.
there is no peace,
when man is increased,
& Gid is decreased.
each person with a view,
selfishly walking in their shoe.
thinking you know whats best,
messing around with the rest.
your law is fatal,
for all will fall.
few will rise again,
knowing where others have been.
you might think you know whats best for me,
you have no idea what sets me free.
so keep your opinion & assumption to yourself,
worry not about whats on my minds shelf.
let everyone live as they wish,
concern yourself with whats on your dish...
