Some guy with chalk

I run; I walk; I sing; I talk; go forward, balk
Ignoring what they say, having a splendid day
For why should I try to please some guy with chalk?
Listening to the chatter of what He thinks does matter, his evil way.

Didn't God make me to live and love, enjoy creation, free?
But if I have to please some man, and live in misery
What good is this? I want God's bliss, the mountains and the sea
I want no rain from chains of bondage making me piss upon a tree.

And so, I'll shout, they'll know, my clout, hear 'trary pout
As I happily go my way, having a splendid day
Looking at trees, I'll never appease some guy with chalk
For God tells me what matters, not dead men chatters, as evil rules the day

And so,

I run; I walk; I sing; I talk; go forward, balk
Ignoring what they say, having a splendid day
For why should I try to please some guy with chalk?
Listening to the chatter of what He thinks does matter, his evil way.

Newell,
You do run and walk, you also fly in this poem! Well done.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

I enjoyed the way you put this together..
You have a style of your own and your words
reflect that...
