The Dead Ain't Alive Poem by Dorsey Baker

You don't want to be the living
That's dead
You want to be the living
That's alive
Just be
Totally free
Truth is naked
Love is blind

Don't standstill
Move with the moving
Walk with the walking
Talk with the talking
Breathe with the breathing
You ain't no robot
You are a human -being!

If you are the living
That's dead
You have no ears to hear
No eyes to see
No mouth to speak
A mountain ain't a mountain
Unless it's got a peak
You ain't living
If you are dead
You've got to be alive
If you are living!
