I Want To Say
If ye lend me your ear today,
Here, something new I want to say.
Tales wide open and still unknown,
Of shattered stars I want to say.
Of day-to-day commonplace life,
No hoary tales I want to say.
Not about that old clever crow,
Tale of a let down stork, today.
Of fairy tales, nor of their dreams,
Of common dreams done to dust, say.
Of a guy who owned up the blame,
Looked blissful still when hanged, I'd say.
Not tales of freedom and triumph,
Of common man's travails, today.
