    Poem Commentary

    There are consequences for our actions

    Have I not the right

    Have I not the right to live the way I do without some folks turning up the nose?

    As if they were I, they wouldn’t live the way I do?

    Tell me. I need to know! I need to know!

    Judge me not so you won’t be judged says the good book.

    So why are you giving me that scornful look?

    I will still make my cash on this block.

    God is my Judge, so stop and think before you throw that rock.

     

    Then the answer came softly and convincingly.

    Yes, you have the absolute right to live the way you do!

    Remember there is a consequence for every path that you ensue.

    Yes you do have that right absolutely, but , try convincing the ever increasing encroachment of buttinskis who think, they have a god given right to your space. Good Luck with that. !

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
