DO AS I SAY
NOT AS I DO
IS THAT THE WAY
IT IS FOR YOU
DO WHAT I SAY
DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK
IS THAT THE WAY
YOU'RE DRIVEN TO DRINK
KNOW THERE IS A BETTER WAY
YOU'RE ALLOWED TO HAVE YOUR SAY
REMEMBER THAT NEXT TIME YOU FIND
SOMEONE TRYING TO CONTROL YOUR MIND
IT'S YOUR MIND YOU'RE IN CONTROL
DON'T LET ANYONE ELSE PLAY THAT ROLE
Author's Notes/Comments:
I MIND WHEN YOU TRY TO CONTROL MY MIND. WHY CAN'T PEOPLE MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS...YOU DON'T HEAR THAT TERM MUCH ANYMORE. MY MOM USED TO SAY THAT. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS...I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT EXPRESSION IN A LONG TIME....BUT THEN AGAIN I DO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS SO THEY HAVE NO CALL TO SAY IT TO ME...HA HA...THAT WAS MY NATURAL THOUGHT PROGRESSION AFTER WRITING THIS POEM.
