Poem Title:
Poem
I won't be obedient, I'll be defiant Of laws that have no compassion. I won't obey laws that condemn man. A law that stops beggars begging, So they can't eat a morsel of bread, I'll not tolerate as I won't see them dying, For the good won’t die but will be fed. A law that takes most of our hard earned money To build fancy things, I'll not tolerate, Or that allows the politicians to be fat, rich and greedy. I won't obey laws that condemn man. A law that puts a man in prison, For stealing a loaf of bread, I'll not tolerate As he needed it to feed his family for good reason, And the Injustice system which did this I’ll obliterate. A law that doles out the death penalty on an alleged murderer Is not right for he can't fight his innocence from the damn coffin, And innocent he was as the evidence was in error. I won't obey laws that condemn man. A law that discriminates against others, Because of creed, religion or colour Is not right and politicians shouldn't wield that power, And they’ll cower before God’s Altar. I won't be chained or repressed. I won't allow their cruelty and immorality To touch me as I'm blessed by God's Caress. I won't obey laws that condemn man. Our poor, disabled, diseased and insane won't suffer, As they'll be blessed by our Lord and our compassion and care. They'll always be in the light of God's Magnificence and Power. And they’ll adorn His Fields as they bloom in sweet flower. A law that stops me saying what I'm saying in these lines Is a law that stifles free speech and suffocates the spirit. Saying kind and humanist things shouldn't be seen as rude but are fine. I won't obey laws that condemn man. Let them stone me, ridicule me and treat me like an imbecile, For I'll live my life with God's Laws, not their rules. For my mouth, I won't seal, And my soul, they can’t steal.
