You Set the Scene

“Walk down your doorsteps,
you'll take some more steps-
What did you take them for?
You go through changes;
it may seem strange-
Is this what you're put here for?
You think you're happy,
and you are happy-
That's what you're happy for.
There's a man who can't decide,
if he should fight-
for what his father thinks is right.
There are people wearing frowns,
who'll screw you up-
But they would rather screw you down…”
-Arthur Lee of Love

P.S. I was a young impressionable teen listening to this clever word-play’n wizard. As a Poet- NO ONE inspired me more! Thank you, Brotha Lee. Much gratitude…from the Lookout-Post.
