"I Believe"

A sarcastic Denunciation of so called beliefs

You ask me if i'm Democrat, or if i be Republican,

I vote for the hopeless myopic utopian,

I dont sit on the left or the right, either way,

I'm a conservative liberal, i am straight, i am gay.

On days i stand for it, and others against it,

I try to pretend that i'm full of resentment,

I try to be  nice, but i'm too anti-social,

Some days i stay quiet, some days i am vocal.

I believe in a this, I believe in a that,

I believe in my dog, I believe in my cat,

I believe in my son, the Sun and the Moon,

The stars in the sky and the sixth month of June.

I believe what i say, I believe what i do,

I believe in an Indians right to be Souix,

I believe in the Bloods, I believe in the Crips,

I believe in the right to have Homo-nership.

I believe its O.K. to sunbathe in the nude,

I believe in cheap beer, I believe in free food,

Dont ask me my views on the war or abortion,

But I'll share with you my belief in Contortion.

I believe it is normal to call yourself queer,

But mostly believe that i'll have some more beer.

Nice rant. I'm not sure what you mean by belief, but I think I know what your interests are. HAVE FUN.

how can i critique a work about what someone believes. "uh, no you don't"

so as far as content, that's a matter of taste, preference, like someone's favorite color. if someone writes my favorite color is blue, can a critic write, "no, your favorite color is green"....?

so as for style, and the use of words: good, but, it seems there's something else you really want to say, and can't, won't, shouldn't or couldn't. have some more beer and write that poem.

faith, hope and love, tristan
