Lust?
I had it once to get away

Bust?
I have it now
To break away.

Must?
It seems I'm angry
To have my say

I'd leave this soil
I'd throw away
My documents

I'd separate
Rather than stay

Oh yes.
You want to make a show ?
Of how
You want to know ?
Just how
You want to grow ?
Allow

That I won't be part of it
I'll turn my back
And walk
Keep facing forward
And talk ...?

There will be talk
And tears

And pain
And blame
And ...

But don't expect me here again.

I won't be leaving twice.
My ticket always was one way
My words
An entry into other worlds
And seeing you again
Ah

I could at last be a foreigner in this land
That you seem to think is "ours"

And you'd include me?
Oh

But that's not to be
I'll not accept the accolade
You didn't know that?

No ?
well

There's more to come

But I can't stay to give you consolation
Or hope

Or lessons in why
We need to stick together

Cause where do I begin
To draw the answer in the sand
It's so fucking obvious !
It might take eons
Cause it's written in my genes
And
Words
Won't
Cut
It!

The blood has spilt already
And I must go.

You've usered in an age
Where I'll be
Silenced

I am not a minority
But I will be

You wanted this
And me
( and others like me)
Who'll fight for your
Liberty
Well you've misjudged

Just about everything

However much you've been caught up in a
Kerfuffle
Convincing arguments
Of self- interest

And "other"

You define yourself as them
With them
The earth hurters
The excluders
We've been here before
You're one of the remainers and I'm one of the movers!

I'll wriggle off rather than join your party
I'm with "us"
The company of humanity

I wanna be one with the universe
I wanna follow the sunset
And the hills
And the sap
And the bird calls in the morning

And I want my human companions to want the same

I'm sorry my brother
Maybe in another lifetime
Maybe it's not as bad
...

Maybe I don't need to pack up my last vestige
My integrity
To have something to walk out with

Your pleas echo in my ear
Turn to insults
- and as I walk-
Will morph into
Disdain
Contempt

I'm sorry for the children
Left behind
With nothing to gauge their choices by
Than
Dry
Grabbing at
Shallow
Dreams

Come find me
When I've turned to dust
And wonder in the patterns
Swirling beauty of atoms

As I catch the sun

Colours
Merging together to make one

Come find me

And in a whistful
Contemplation

Earth- free
Just
Us

We'll be together

Again
