A Man of Integrity
I’m a man of great integrity.
I’ve sought justice all my life.
Standing up for equality
Supporting the weak in times of strife.
In a world of mean corruption
Run by thugs with gun and knife.
Tyrants deploy their goons
Suppression and violence ever rife.
A man must make his protest
And stand up for what is true.
Even though it may destroy him
It’s the only thing to do.
So I plough a lonesome furrow
Taking on the evil few.
In the hopes that we might prosper
And the world can start anew.
I’m a man of great integrity.
I’ve sought justice all my life.
Standing up for equality
Supporting the weak in times of strife.

I was thinking about Woody Guthrie and early Bob Dylan when I was writing this.
I do seem to have spent the whole of my life fighting for a better, fairer world. Bit late to stop now!
