Desire

The different paths we are on You have money and I have none You are a star Am just a writer I look for peace While you’re just a fighter You’re a red carpet Am a bare floor I ask for nothing you ask for more I wait for one love And you have many You spend a dime And I spend a penny You have posh meals I have soup and bread You have a four poster And I a single bed I would not change just for a slice of your pie You are just a stranger not the apple of my eye There is just one thing you do not obtain I have my freedom you just stress and strain Everything you have yet am the one who’s happy Is it just me are you just batty? If I had one wish, I’d give the wish to you Well just to see just to see what you would do Money and stardom are not what you’re about You might want to consider those you go without If fame is your desire return the wish to me For I would feed the world and not just a few look what stardom has done to you written by M. BURTON
