This is a space where I have a mid life crisis, write about my creative journey, and talk about songwriting and share bits of terrible poetry.

No trouble

Written in

by

We don’t want no trouble, no trouble

To the men who came to rob you blind.

To take your eyes and leave you in the dark to find them.

We don’t want no trouble.

Here I’ll give them to you.

I’d rather be blind than see the things you are ruining

Like Lear I’d rather be blind than see how I contributed to this destruction.

We don’t want no trouble

As the men drag the outspoken women from the hall.

No trouble, no trouble

Watch it go down, don’t make no sound.

Like a scared animal

Don’t draw attention to yourself

Freeze and stay locked still

While they take the others away.

While they devour their prey.

And I am scared of this indifference

As much as I am of you.

No, we don’t want no trouble.

Do you?
