Free Cee No Island Is a Man

NO ISLAND IS A MAN I mustn’t hear, I mustn’t fear I mustn’t touch, I mustn’t clutch I mustn’t feel, I mustn’t heal I mustn’t talk, I mustn’t walk I mustn’t see, I mustn’t be Should I do all the things above Should I do all the things I love Should I be human with emotions My tears could fill a hundred oceans Should I hear my ears would bleed Should I see I’d see of need Should I feel I’d feel too much And feel the thrill of a lover’s touch Should I see I’d see the tears The anguish in the face of pain Should I feel I’d feel the fears The fright of damnation and disdain Should I touch I’d be touched too much Should I hear I’d hear of death Should I walk and talk and such Sorrow might steal my blessed breath I care not for despondency I care not for sorrow’s soul I care not to live joylessly Nor hopelessly on the whole Leave me deaf to humanity’s plea Leave me blind to the moon and sun Leave me numb lest I should flee And be more discouraged than anyone © 2008…..free cee!
