I am here, listen to me
I am a simple man
With many ideas and ideals
Listen to me.
Ignore the media,
Disregard your friends
Forget your parents
Listen to me.
I am all that there is
And you are here too
I come with a message
Listen to me.
I tell you to look around you,
The fertile ground
The sky, forever blue
Listen to me.
I am your mother
And all who you ever knew
(and some you didn’t)
Those who knew what was good for you
Listen to me.
Never mind your self-importance
You call that a fall from grace?
Crouch and hear my plea
Listen to me.
The thing to realise
That we mostly think
Of nothing at all.
