And he said…

I
ask you brother…
“What
do you feel when all in a rush
People
trample you down not
Giving
a damn or caring or
Thinking
just going
And
saying ‘to
Hell
with that
Someone,
he’s
Just
a
No-one
And
I’m better
Than
him, cuz I’ve got
What
it takes’, and sudden,
Too
soon, you’ve left all alone,
With
nothing but thoughts of what they
Have
done
As you
Lie in
Your
grief.”
I ask
you sister,
“What can you say when you’re
left in the
World by men who don’t care,
even
You so fair, with eyes full of
Tears, your face soft
And mild and
Your womb
Full with
Child.
Once what
Was love is now
Cold and so old, and you
Find that their truth is bent
like
Your back
Which
you
Tried to keep
Straight.”
I’ll
tell you both now,
“Love for yourself, be
selfish, be
Cruel, take what is yours.
And when you have
Done find some-
one to love.
And love
With
Your mind
Grasp each other’s
Soul and keep it for you, say
‘to hell with the world” and “let
there be peace.”
