Notes About The Poem

Dedicated to poet destroyer Linda may light show you the way out of the dark

No Shame Or Blame

There is no blame or shame
in sometimes not being the same.
Woes will oft times call our name
even if we live a life without blame.

The secret is to play the game
whilst our hearts we tame
giving the finger to the dame
of misfortune who is in the frame.

Revoking things of ill fame
bad things we set aflame
and their sins we disclaim.
It is all about playing the game.

So come forward without shame
you are who you are, so your life reclaim
and at the end of the day proclaim
to all, I am me without any blame.
