Geoffrey Brewer Poet Verse

Reset Reject

THEY CAN’t TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME

The way they claim the power
To choose for thee and me
The way they would devour
Freedom: they can’t take that away from me

They want to make me woke
To bend and take a knee
I’m just a freeborn bloke
Oh! No they can’t take that away from me

While they live their lives as princes
Doling handouts all for free
All I ask: leave what is mine and let me be

The way I make my choice
The way my mind’s still free
While I still have a voice
Oh! No they can’t take that away from me
No! They can’t take that away from me
