Rightly Jennings Poet Lyric

The Power and the Glory

looking back through the prism of time 
all them women who would undermine 
     my mistakes
 here in my head and under my skin
  where on god’s earth have I been 
      until now?

   I want to get up n’ out n’ let’s go
plenty stories to be written, to be told
   here in the shadows I am in decline
   I’ll catch the light, mostly anytime

  contemplating this prism of mine  
      I realise that the enemy 
        is my mind
    all my business n’ my scuffed up shoes
        who do I trust if not you?
          what’s your name?

   think fast, it need not last, I’ll make it fit
  thine is the power, the glory, the music
      here in the shadows I am in decline
     I’ll catch the light, mostly anytime
