Loki Wyrd Posted October 5, 2003 Report Posted October 5, 2003 (edited) The flow of these could be tough to follow. I know how it goes though, so if anyone is interested you can come over to my place and I'll read it to you. BTW...If you ever wonder why my poems don't seem very polished it's usually because I write a good deal of them in a few minutes, these one included. They wouldn't let me get to sleep until I put them on paper. Persecuted Some of the laws of this country I find to be quite absurd Why should I be persecuted against For wanting to smoke the good herb Who are they to tell me What I can or can not do in my home What right do they have To dictate my actions when I'm all alone I will not obey you Or play along as I could I will not demean myself so As following you I certainly would I shall do as I please Throwing caution to the wind You can lock me up in chains But don't think that means you win It Is Not Right Good people, you know That it is not right Good people, you know That you must put up a fight You can not let your freedoms go For they will not run free The government would bottle them up They would take them from you and me You may have your piece of mind And feel you're safe at night But the truth I'd have you know Is that this is just not right I know it's much to ask But you must guard yourself Be aware of what is happening More than just your state of health You must have eyes A voice to match them too Your words must ring of freedom And in your heart you'll know they're true Edited October 5, 2003 by Loki Wyrd
Parmenion Posted October 5, 2003 Report Posted October 5, 2003 1) I hear you man and had a little something in honour of poem #1 2) Just like Ireland is becoming a goddamn "nanny" state! They are banning smoking in pubs starting next year. Speed limits are insanely slow. Even drunk and disorderly fighting is frowned upon in this day and age - Irishmen just ain't allowed be Irishmen anymore - I feel your pain
Loki Wyrd Posted October 5, 2003 Author Report Posted October 5, 2003 What's the world coming to, eh? I appreciate the gesture towards the 1st poem, as I'm sure you're enjoying the gesture as well.
