This Place You Call Earth
Can I be me today,
And forever after,
Without the judgement
Of the consensus or the cognoscenti?
Can I eat when I am hungry,
And perhaps when I am not,
Without the suffering
Of the starving and the needy?
Can I weave my web,
And wonder at yours,
Without the hurt
Of the biting and the venomous?
I can, but when I may,
This place you call Earth, I will call home.
