Don't Need Poem by Thomas Dooley

Have you given up on me have I given up on you
What is it we really can do as we look like fools
Can't see the future past my own dreams
But can you say your truly free

Don't need no blessed beads.
Don't need no lucky rabbit's feet.

Just need our leader's minds to be free.
Instead of thinking of a destructive ideology
They have a death wish for our society.
As we strive for peace out on the streets

Don't need no psychic reading.
Don't need no mystic miracle.

Our past history should be a lesson, not a political chant.
Why would anyone ever want to go back to that
Step on a crack hope to break the presidents back.
Has it really come down to that looking for an easy hack

Don't need no tarot cards.
Don't need no astrological reading.

Just like a lie and the truth, faith, and belief are two different things.
When the bell rings we are def too injustice as society screams
Uneducated words argued without any proof, it is all they can do
Just to be heard, ignorance should not be an excuse.

Don't need no prayer.
Don't need no mantra.

My blessings are my own my sins I control
I follow a path set from long ago.
Not by anyone man not by any sacred book
Don't tell the directions to a destination you have never took
