No Surrender
We learned more from a 3-minute record, baby, Than we ever learned in school. Bruce Springsteen
No surrender to the glib complacent,
The shielders, and the worried-well,
Those for whom life is 'simply hell.'
Those who measure out their life
In coffee spoons, when everything
Is too late or too soon. Let's call out
Those who conduct their life on zoom,
Who assume a mask will protect them
From the stoic or the zen.
Those who rely on their own four walls
Ejits who condemn the multi-coloured young.
Those risk-averse, the small 'c' conservative.
Those moved too easily to stay the same
Those who abide by the 'rules of the game'.
Those who thrill to see the adventurous fail
Those who would never sail the seven seas
Those who we really really should not heed.
