Maybe The Poet

Stealing Fire

Maybe The Poet

Maybe the poet is gay

But he'll be heard anyway


Maybe the poet is drugged

But he won't stay under the rug


Maybe the voice of the spirit

In which case you'd better hear it


Maybe he's a woman

Who can touch you where you're human


Male female slave or free

Peaceful or disorderly

Maybe you and he will not agree

But you need him to show you new ways to see


Don't let the system fool you

All it wants to do is rule you

Pay attention to the poet

You need him and you know it


Put him up against the wall


Shoot him up with pentothal


Shoot him up with lead

You won't call back what's been said


Put him in the ground

But one day you'll look around


There'll be a face you don't know

Voicing thoughts you've heard before


Male female slave or free

Peaceful or disorderly

Maybe you and he will not agree

But you need him to show you new ways to see


Don't let the system fool you

All it wants to do is rule you

Pay attention to the poet

You need him and you know it


Toronto January 1982
