"Don't ask me" (another short poem), page 1

This poem is for dealing with the frustration induced by the many close minded ignorant people out there and this is my message for them. I think a lot of ATS'ers will like it. Lately I've been getting a lot of advice unasked for by people I'm not on the same page with and well, here you go!

"Don't ask me"

Billy Graham is a good preacher
Tony Robins a good speaker
Jesus was a good teacher
JFK a good leader

An effective man is Stephen Covey
He knows how we should "act"
Jesse Ventura has major cojones
The random middle aged preacher can get you back "on track"

Ghandi was spiritual non Violence
Martin Luther King Jr equality, followed
Buddha was the master of happiness
Lao Tzu, his work is hallowed

I don't know all of them
but I've got a decent handful
See you don't need me
When you've got a freaking list full.

Ken Wilber is good For those of us that think we are "smart"
Tolle can get you in touch with your peace in your heart
Chicken soup for the soul guy is reading far ahead
How did I almost leave Robert Bruce out with a boring rhyme instead.

All of the monks, Capuchin, Franciscan, Buddhists and others
Have taught us that life is great
And we here are all brothers
And maybe we should stop the hate.

Even if all these people weren't there
There are many right behind them
You listen to these sellers now and
Try not to be too hard on them

Cause I'm not here to teach you
No that's not my job at all
I'm just here to be with you
And accompany rise or fall.

I've spared you from most of my lessons
that you don't want to hear
If it's ignorance in your thoughts
Then spare me from your fear

We are exactly where we left
From when our words begun
it's all been done before
There's nothing new under the sun

I'm not the one to help you
With you there is no point at all
I've learned all I can from those better than me
What you do with yours is your call.

Hope you liked it!
