Original

By M. Jay Mansfield

Let’s do something original
Let’s worship ourselves..
Let’s write songs that no one sells…
Let’s quote our own thoughts…
Let’s be our own moral guide…

Let’s be original…
No matter what the cost may be…
Let’s be original…
My world my thoughts, just me….

Let us sing a song…
That no one has ever sung….
Let’s play a song…
No one has ever played…

Let’s quote beautiful words…
Never before spoken aloud…
Let’s speak our own words…
Lift mysteries shroud…

Let’s lead ourselves thru the valley…
Lift myself out of life’s peril…
Let’s lead ourselves to truth…
No mandated prayer needed…

Let’s be original…
May the lizard wear feathers…
The fish fly freely….
May my friends smile without charge…
May the birds sing off key in perfect syncopation…
May every jackhammer echo our
Thoughts in muffled beats of passion..
Let’s be original…
Like no other….
Twisted in sweet perilous love and friendship…
Let’s be original…
