Neither do I Need a Witness
Joe Pug
Blue needs no charter to marble the veins.
Green needs no ocean garner its name.
Night needs no favour and weather no shame.
Storms need no shoulders to carry their rain
So neither do I need a witness to nod and agree
If I see they mountains, they must see me
The earls need titles, pastors need men
Authors need stories more than stories need them
Nations need children to rise and defend
And statues an pledges and anthems, I guess
So neither do I need a witness or a reason to please
If I see they mountains, they must see me
If proof is as much of a blanket as naked belief
If I see they mountains, they must see me
