for those not labelled we will take no blame
the lists are detailed comprehensive wrong
there's not a thing that we won't ever name
outside there's sign of a new diamond flame
not brilliant yet but still both hot and strong
for those not labelled we will take no blame
our thoughts are held within the normal frame
we note all matters which to our day belong
there's not a thing that we won't ever name
the trees outside look wild but they are tame
the shadows that they cast do not last long
for those not labelled we will take no blame
each of us knows our purpose pride or shame
are hidden by the the vast yet human throng
there's not a thing that we won't ever name
we set our money down we're in the game
our eyes stay bright upon our lips a song
for those not labelled we will take no blame
there's not a thing that we won't ever name
(C)2007, Fragano Ledgister
