A True Legend in his Time
This soulful troubadour I admire
Whose lyrics and music does inspire
Has unofficially spoken out
To all the concepts that spread fear and doubt
He is not only an activist
But a powerful poetic fist
That strikes out against the tom foolery of
Those whose political statements poke fun at love
And not the Eros love with which some acquaint
The parameters of being saints
But the love for the common good
Of all humanity, the love of brotherhood
Young and vibrant and sensational
His words and music inspirational
He’s picked up the torch and began to run
In his allotted time to get things done
So this generation has one more of many voices
To wisely offer many choices
To the masses of his age
To write on History’s vaunted page
Words of inspiration and hope
To help his generation to cope
With political issues that boggle the mind
