OK, so I guess that I'm a poet
I'm told that it gives me responsibilities
I don't even want to know it
The only person I write with in mind is me
People should just look out for themselves
No! That makes me sound like a Tory
I'm a Socialist, that's important to me
But, art is different, it's not life
I could never write for someone else
I've only got time for my own struggles and strife
If you want to, pick someone else off the shelf
