Don't mellow down <br />Shrug them off. <br /> <br />Live in your madness. <br />Wear your signature frown <br />that we may live in your fondness <br />for the bastion of the clown <br /> <br />They say your veins would burst <br />from deadly hypertension <br />but we will turn to dust <br />from evil suffocation <br />deprived of your breath of life <br /> <br />We are counting on your courage <br />seeking freedom from bondage <br />to vanishing pursuits of earthly power <br />that we may flower <br />in your sterling fibre <br /> <br />Live for us <br />Collapse and die <br />if you must <br /> <br />We your children <br />will be there with you <br />in your heroic matyrdom <br />riding on your back <br />to your heavenly sack<br /><br />mark nwagwu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-mellow-down/
