To Get It Off My Back - To Live

TO GET IT OFF MY BACK (TO LIVE) To get it off my back, I write about this and that. To get it off my back, I write about life. To get it off my back! To escape mania To destroy the voice To defend my rightful mindedness from evil discourse, I write about the lunacy of the Courts. To get it off my back, I write about what the world did. They killed my people my people spirit of happiness. I write about the mania I normally live within. To get it off my back, I scribe proverbially and have a psalmist thumb. I tell the public about the wickedness to come. To get it off my back, I am bard to tell exactly the way it is. To get it off my back To live! ______________________________| Penned April 27, 2014!
