Bloody Well Right

A Poem by Pete
"

A man is not to be measured by the virtue of his described actions or the wisdom of his expressed thoughts merely, but by that free character he is. - Thoreau

Load image into Gallery viewer, Bloody well right

they say, "perhaps" but i say, "quite"
they say that it's a bit but i know it's a byte
they tell me to keep it on the down low but i take it ever to a new height
they see me strutting at high noon but never on my knees at midnight
they say that death is inevitable but i only think it might
they say it's my fate but i know it's their plight
they type their lies while the truth i write
they say my faith is loose but i know it's tight

you spit in the mud and gave me back my sight
you held my hand when i was sinking in fright
you helped me to see the light
they said i was lost when i stayed the course despite
they told me to get lost and go fly a kite
they said i was way off and needed to turn left
but i know damn well that i'm
bloody well right

The understanding went up to say, feelign embarrased because you didnt do what you supposed to do but there is no sooner than later, you have a step to take, people here help you, and the response given only to see what you are in others view so you take a right step, so that you are not left behind because you never knew what was wrong with you.
Innocents listen and correct, few ignorant they doesnt even accept what they are and blame others see I am a bloody well right.......

it makes clap with two hands, a male and female, bad and good. so one to speak and one to hear, the truth. but dont misunderstand that one to be a hero there must be a villan.

Bloody well right--hey, you bet! There's too many "they saids" out there, giving us advice. It's best to march to the beat of our own drummer, I say. I love Roger Hodgson and Super Tramp. Too bad they didn't make more albums.
