RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Book of Forms
Because it was written long ago
Some will say it must be so
Perhaps it was written that god embraces
A privileged class of superior races
Some would say it must be so
Why? It was written long ago
So some are smitten
With what was written
Not I
I must find my own forms
My own guiding principles
My own codes and philosophies
My own measures of being
My own methods of seeing
Let others walk the trodden path
I will brave an unspoiled forest
Of dreams and novel mythologies
Exploring untold psychologies
Knowing that many years from now
My path may also be trodden
And braver souls will find
A braver and bolder way
To keep the faith
And claim the day
So be it
