Do me in....
Do me in....
I am a lesbian, a communist and a subversive
I am a gypsy, I masturbate, I think I´m gay too
This should be enough for you to do me in
rid yourself of your conceitedness and prejudice
go and don´t delay, be spontaneous and have your way
Make the world a better place and do with me away
Clean up your town, turn it white and straight
and in so doing why not have a fucking good fight
The Establishment and Police are on your side
so there is absolutely nothing to fear or hide
Sorry to change - I am unemployed, watch pornography
I behave like a loony and write crazy poetry
This you can use against me on an oath to swear
sometimes I go naked to make others stare
I am past caring what others may think
to show I don´t give a shit and I don´t even blink
The world is so full of people up their own bum
they live in snooty darkness with no hope of any sun
So you can go ahead and do me in
if youré a believer then I know I´m full of sin
I am beyond redemption in the eyes of many
but to a down and out I´ll give my last penny
It took me years to be born again and new
I am now ready to go but I ask - are you?

Desmond, Avishek, Julia, Ian, Don and Trevor. Thank you for your comments on this poem as they are much appreciated. The poem was something of a departure from my usual work but there are times when one is driven to strike out at the scociety we live in. I am now entertaining the idea of writing more such poems, which although cathartic, also express what I feel needs to be heard.
Thank you all again
Keith
