What I like, what I love, what I do, who I am!

the Rogue

Joseph A. Wraith

I've come along way from nowhere,
I've seen a lot of nothin' along the way.
But the stuff I've seen often disappears
all by the end of the day.

I travel by night because I like the darkness
and the road gets quiet as I go.
The coolness of the evening keeps my
blood at bay and the stars lend me quite a show.

I've been across deserts and high plains,
across large lakes and awesome seas.
Rode through tornadoes and hurricanes,
and heated jungles following a cool mountain breeze.

I take the long roads less traveled by and
often go through life alone.
I've been called a vagrant, a transient and a wanderer,
but I prefer being known as the rogue.

I'm not looking for my inner-self
or trying to find my way.
I've been down all those empty roads and
chasing someone else's ideals don't pay.

I know who I am and what I'm about,
I know where I am all the time.
I know that I love my life on the road
and not following your dreams is the crime.

I refuse to live my life in a box,
gathering things I possess.
I refuse to follow society's rules,
for that I am considered useless.

A person with freedoms not controlled,
an animal outside the gated pen.
I live my life on the outskirts,
and do things when I say when.

For all this I'm labeled as a bad man,
a scoundrel, a crook and a knave.
But let the judgment fall on them
who judge me, for I've seen how they behave.

I take the long roads less traveled by and
often go through life alone.
I've been called a vagrant, a transient and a wanderer,
but I prefer being known as the rogue.

Easy Rider Poëtry

George: You know, this used to be a hell of a good country. I can't understand what's gone wrong with it.

Billy: Huh. Man, everybody got chicken, that's what happened, man. Hey, we can't even get into like, uh, second-rate hotel, I mean, a second-rate motel. You dig ? They think we're gonna cut their throat or something, man. They're scared, man.

George: Oh, they're not scared of you. They're scared of what you represent to 'em.

Billy: Hey man. All we represent to them, man, is somebody needs a haircut.

George: Oh no. What you represent to them is freedom.

Billy: What the hell's wrong with freedom, man? That's what it's all about.

George: Oh yeah, that's right, that's what it's all about, all right. But talkin' about it and bein' it - that's two different things. I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. 'Course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free 'cause then they're gonna get real busy killin' and maimin' to prove to you that they are. Oh yeah, they're gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom, but they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em.

Billy: Mmmm, well, that don't make 'em runnin' scared.

George: No, it makes 'em dangerous.

Wild Angels "poëtry"

"We wanna be free! We wanna be free to do what we wanna do. We wanna be free to ride. We wanna be free to ride our machines without being hassled by The Man! ... And we wanna get loaded. And we wanna have a good time. And that's what we are gonna do. We are gonna have a good time... We are gonna have a party"

Peter Fonda in "the Wild Angels"(1966)
