I The essential me. My soul and spirit. Never to be broken. For I am who I am And no-one else can live my life But me. No gods, emperors or kings Can rule Inside my head. Sure, I can bow and scrape To my “Superiors”, Yet in the confines of my mind My thoughts and feelings remain My very own. Inside, I have Attitude And Assert myself fully. You may well brainwash me With ideology And all manner of social-controlling stuff But you will never eradicate The essence That is Me Indeed I. I may have little power In this sordid world of ours, But in the Universe of Planet Paul I am effectively God. Without me, Without my Mind, My Id, There would be no Life In any place For Me. Without this Life There is no World or Universe As far as I Am concerned. For Me Whatever I do not experience Does not exist at all. Think me selfish if you wish Or Egocentric Self-Centred Call it what you will I have to say it As it is. Just be grateful That in the end I am a loving soul. Paul Butters © PB 26\2\18.
