KNOW THERE IS A BETTER WAY

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.
