Who I Am.Who Am I? Poem by Dave James

Life is not what bites you,
It should be what excites you,
Laughter strained is pointless,
Opinions? Well who wants this?

Don't dwell or dally dither
When you're lost in open river,
Point your boat into the shore,
No-one ever asked for more.

I strive, I live, I breathe, I give,
What other expectations?
A one man league of Nations?
Say no, say breathe, say live!

Politics can twist a world,
To wit their flag be so unfurled,
But suffer none such fools glad,
Better still to not be mad.

For media we shouldn't mention,
A school for troops who crave attention,
Don't feed this ever hungry soul,
Who greets us in it's own black hole,

Say I to life and ventures new,
Be gone such troubles now! Adieu!
For I can live without such fears
Not just now, but for many years.
