Brian Strand Poet Lyric

Feeding the Ego

My right to be free.
my right to be me;
Hey listen to me
just let me be;
Don't ask me to see
contribute or give,
Hey,hey  let's live
and let live;
Don't inhibit me,
my right to be free,
my right to be me;
Ever looking within,
the self-centred sin,
a contemporary credo,
feeding the ego.
