Should I now change my tune
could I do that?
should I reach for the moon
or lower my head?
Shall I man barricades
with a torch aloft
crash, contradict, attack
keep them in line, hit back
or am I too soft?
Is what I’ve done till now
really my best?
or was I ducking down
like all the rest?
Setting sight
well beyond the banks
swimming against the tide
holding my flag
ready to party or fight
as the case requires
could I do that?
