DOWN ON RICKIE’S FARM

Brian Mayer

I never said I had all the answers
But I’m not afraid to look inside
We know your type attacks
Without warning
And then you try to hide
You hide
Know that I’ll follow my own spirit
You won’t find it pinned like a medal
On my sleeve
Your kind can never get past it
So walk on
Walk on
And you call attention to yourself
By drawing white lines in the snow
A strange attempt at affection
But you should know you can’t dam up that river
Just by going up
Against the flow
I’ve been told by a reliable source
That you said I am a man
Out of season
Always planting more than I can sow
Here’s an open invitation
Accept this pick, ax, shovel, hoe
There is work to be done
