I do not share your passion for Leonard Cohen <br />those sad soulful melodies and nostalgic tunes <br />when you listen and turn up the volume <br />makes it seem you demand that we all listen <br />but I feel anger rising and must leave the room <br />turn on the radio and close the door <br />in an act of independence from that monotonous voice <br />rising and falling in a repetitive tune <br />when you switch to the classics and let the music boom <br />I’m so allergic to noise, I have no choice <br />but to stay in my room <br />in a silence I <br />chose… <br /> <br />It’s very nice you believe you know what is best <br />for everyone you come across in the world <br />you have passed many tests <br />and proved your point <br />but in defiance I can’t always show <br />blind allegiance to every scheme <br />you get into your head - and in all fairness <br />there was a time I had to write a submission <br />to obtain the microwave I desired - and you knowing best <br />purchased a dishwasher too, a thing I detest <br />and never used - please understand <br />I prefer Freedom to Munificent <br />Benevolence!<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/freedom-and-munificent-benevolence/
