In Honor of William

N HONOR OF WILLIAM 
if i was a man if i was at all just a man 
i would tie my arm behind my back 
i would climbe the mountain then i would attack 
i would swim the rivers in all the land 
just to get away 
to live to fight another day 
to give to my friend meat in due season 
people are funny but friends have no reason 

to hate one another 
i am not his lover 
but i care 

william is busy somewhere
