Michael E. Harris Poet Rhyme

Vp's Way of Life

BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER.
A BEAUTIFUL FIND IS ABOVE THE SHOULDER.

AN OPEN MIND HAS INCREDIBLE VISION.
IN LIFE THAT'S ALLWAYS A WISE DECISION.

YOU TOOK ON THE WORLD, YOU HAD NO FEAR.
YOU HAD YOUR PRINCIPLES, YOU HELD THEM DEAR.

YOU WOULDN'T BUY WHAT OTHERS BOUGHT.
YOU DIDN'T CARE WHAT OTHERS THOUGHT.

YOU DIDN'T LISTEN TO WHAT GOVERNMENTS SAID. 
YOU WOULDN'T LET POLITICS INSIDE YOUR HEAD. 

YOU LIVED YOUR LIFE ALL ON YOUR OWN. 
FOR MANY FOLKS FREEDOM WILL NEVER BE KNOWN. 

IT APPEARS TO ME A MESSAGE WAS LOST. 
A LINE WAS DRAWN AND APPARENTLY CROSSED. 

THE TIME WAS PRESANT AND THEN FADED AWAY  
REFFERED TO NOW AS YESTERDAY
