I'd Rather Be... Poem by DM W

O I'd rather be a poet,
Imbibing the sunlight and rain,
Than a bored soldier on parade.
I'd rather be a bold prophet
Than a poor office worker.
I'd rather be a creator,
Than a politician canvassing
Like a huckster, to gain your votes.
I'd rather be a fine artist,
Painting things in colourful ways.
Than a meddling entrepreneur.
I would rather raise consciousness
Than conform to absurd diktats.
I'd relish my new found freedom!
