Broad-Minded
You say I`m a fool!
Give me that rope and
See if I will hang myself
And put to shame
What the Lord has created
Because
I fear nothing in this world
That is not from Heaven
You can put a rifle in my mouth
And make me swallow its bullets
If you can
And see what will happen
You say I`m stupid!
But God has given me
More wisdom than I can handle
And some day
He`ll place me under the guidance
Of King Solomon
Witches can walk butt naked at night
And monkeys scream
On the roof of my one room shack
My enemies can hate me
And friends despise me
Go ahead!
Put a curse on my birth
Dig me a grave
But you won`t burry me
Buy me a bed
And you will never make fall on sleep
Life is a test
I wrote my final exam
And will overcome
My friend!
Your meat is my poison
You will never break me!
