Finis “…I’ll Cry if I Want To”

(with thanks to Q, Lesley, and the lyricists)

I don’t go to parties;

I am no longer a Party Member:

I am not a Republican,

I am not a Democrat,

I am not a Socialist, a Tory, or Labour.

I am not an Independent, a Libertarian, or an Anarchist.

I am not a Progressive;
I walk in lock-step with no one.

I do not take any side except my own.

I am a questioner, a delver, a free-thinker.
I believe in fact and not innuendo.

I am a Compassionate and a Realist.

You do not want me on your jury.

Ronda R. Scott-Marak
