Have I said too much

And fallen into the wrong hands?

Can I make a difference anywhere I land?

Am I in a void?

Making noise

Like a band that won’t disappear

Even when

the crowd heckles and jeers

I still have my poise

And a lack of fear

Should I be on my way

And exit stage left?

**

Could I find another production

Where they keep the time best

Saving the bass and treble cleft 

For what happens next?

*

I must see them shining

And avoid any trouble

Across my media today

Can we combine

And double down

Go to town

Till I am found

And change up operations

With another new sound?

**

Can I share a new groove

And make some cool moves

Get away from the anger

And the fear of bad news?

*

Can I make a difference 

With words that I say?

Instead of wallowing

in my own echo chamber

An eternal stranger

Let’s get past the danger

And let the world choose

When good words stay

While we work and play

Free speech today

That helps folks

heal and soothe

Let there be no other way
