HOP ALONG

When I think my life unfair

I look at those whose lives are queer

Maggots of excreta

Slaves of mental diaspora

I wear my smile and hop along

 

When I think my life unfair

I do all human lives compare

A day to be born, an earth for a world,

A day to hear mystic death’s horn

I wear my love and hop along

 

So hop along

And hope along

Failure is even more difficult to achieve

So when it all goes down the drain, just receive,

Love the effort, and hop along

 

I’ll hop along

You hop along

He’ll hop along

Let’s hop along

To where we belong
