Oh To Be... Poem by Janis Land Raymer

Oh to be a butterfly
flying high in the sky
to escape the pettiness and the lies
Oh to be a butterfly

Oh to be a colorful kite
sailing through the summer breeze
to escape the dream of love that never appears
Oh to be a colorful kite

Oh to be an eagle
soaring way above the land
to escape the schemes and manipulations of man
Oh to be an eagle

Oh to be a man
with abilities to control and decieve
to escape guilt and conscience
Oh to be a man

I am not
a butterfly
eagle
or man...
I do possess a conscience
therefore, I stand condemned to suffer silence....
Oh to be.
