Take My Attitude (A Song) Poem by Barry Middleton

Take My Attitude (A Song)

Rating: 5.0


Life can be confusing,
head goes spinning ‘round,
sure could use some friendship,
good times can't be found.

Take my attitude, (Chorus)
Take my attitude,
Take my attitude.

We could all be brothers,
all stand up as one,
Christian, Jew and Muslim,
all lay down the gun.

(Chorus)

We could all be brothers,
black and white and brown,
join the celebration,
no one puts you down.

(Chorus)

Why can't we be lovers,
men and women need,
the strength each of the other,
respect, a mighty seed.

(Chorus)

When you love a woman,
or when you love a man,
love is always blessed,
but fear can't understand.

(Chorus)

All the world's a garden,
Spring, then Summer falls,
play and pray in Sunlight,
soon the night will fall.

(Chorus)

We are all just children,
and what is living for?
End the competition,
no one keeping score.

(Chorus)

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This song was written many years ago but like 'The Eve of Destruction' it seems as relevant today as ever. In the aftermath of the massacre in Orlando, I recalled the last verse.

That's awesome. What a great write. I love the song format. Yes, it's very relevant. A lesson of love and unity in the aftermath of a gruesome act is what the world needs.
