Death is Not a Door

Death is not a door
Love is not an anchor
Sadness does not pass
Worry is not worth it
Hunger is not hatred
Freedom is not chains
Respect is not tolerance

and seeing eye to eye is not the point

the doors were always open
the doors were always open
the doors were never there

Nice! Good sh-te!

I especially like Respect is not tolerance and seeing eye to eye is not the point.

Uh!

yeah, me too-- those two lines really stood out.

i find "ten seconds off the top of the head" is often a good poetic strategy.

of course, editing the beejeezus out of it later never hurts either... :)

this rocks though.
