Analysis of I
I am but a man
I am not an evil man
But I am an angry man
I am mad at the world for the way it is
For what it does to us and each other
I am mad there is no justice
At least none that I see
I am mad at the world
For what it has done to me
I am mad at myself
For what I have become, because of the world
I am not an evil man
But I am a mad man
I am angry at my weakness
Powerless to stop it all
I am just one who understands
That this is all wrong
And very far from right
I am but one
Quickly losing sight
I am not an evil man
But an angry man looking toward the light
Hoping, dreaming, wishing, praying………………….
I just want things right
Is all I’m saying
Loving, laughing, playing, living…………………….
The simple joy in random giving
Holding, hugging, kissing, sharing………………….
Is all part of our natural caring
We are a race
Who are in a race……………of survival
I am not an evil man
I am just angry at the way we treat each other
Because were all we’ve got
Eric (and sometimes not)
