Poeme : The Men I Knew
The Men I Knew
As I ride along the waves
I try to avoid the caves
Men have set to catch their bait
As I explore the new day
I attempt to stay away
From the men that watch and wait
As I slowly patch my quilt
I do not suffer from guilt
As I strap you to the tree
As I expose you to all
Showing them your open flaws
I am setting women free
As I push you to the wall
Exposing you to their claws
I am saving you from hell
As I wake and realize
No reason to penalize
Who am I to make you dwell
As you decide how to act
You’re free to choose, it’s a fact
Whether you will hurt or heal
As I slowly come to you
You’ll be like the men I knew
Or you’ll show me how to feel.

PostScriptum
alors que je monte les vagues/j’essaye d’eviter les caves/mise en place par les hommes qui veulent attraper leur ver/alors que je decouvre le nouveau jour/je tache de rester loin/des hommes qui regardent et attendent/alors que je couds ma couverture
