We live

Mark Cloutier 1972 (Kaneohe)

Free verse
Waiting drives them mad
But I never do
I never know more than I should
But yet I know everything
And if you couldn't speak freely
Then what are you doing here and now
The future is coming
Its packaged goods
And they sell it for top dollars
The riches of the world
Are yours and they are mine
For all time
Take them and bathe in glory
Shoot the moon down
Stand upon the sun and shine
We never die
We live
We live
These are eternal words I speak
And I never back down
So rise up in revolution
For my words are a revolution
And The word is revolution
