If I could change the world
I wrote this poem because it is really how I feel. I want peace, harmony and prosperity for everyone and I feel that is selfishness and greed were eliminated, together we as the human race could make it happen.
NO MORE FREEBIRD (Listen to Freebird as you sing along)
There was a discussion on a band page about how entertainers are tired of being asked to sing Freebird while they are setting up. So I wrote... "Freebird is very popular and it brings back a lot of good memories for some people. I suggest that bands modify the song to make it fun for you. The most popular part is the outro ending. So if your band has a sax or 2 play it with the sax. If you have a very ambitious drummer, play it with the drums. Play just the last verse and ending. Be creative and change the words." After posting that to the website, my friend dared me to rewrite Freebird to express the sentiment. So, I did.
