As I was cleaning up my kitchen tonight I had an undeniable urge to write. This is what I was compelled to write – I don’t know why.

LET ME GO

Let me go

Set me free

All through my life

You have hounded me.

My only ambition

Was to sing and dance;

But it was not by accident nor by chance

That the money spinners of the world

Saw in me

A way to magnify their note and riches.

Condemn me if you will

But you too will be judged

By God Almighty up above -

For to idolise and worship me is a sin.

Remember me only as an ordinary man

With a life that was not my own.

Please let me be

And set me free for in 

Life I belonged to everyone

In death I belong

To Our Universal Father

And to Christ our Savior

Who has made

My soul whole and clean.

    Excellent I too wrote
    A few for
    And to you
    You my please do read them
    In all hearts do stay.
    Thank god you have left this world
    And are free
    You left most of us so lonely

    Money is the chant of ordinary men
    They do not know when
    They will go too
    None will remember them
    This you very know too.
