Don't Worry

Don't Worry

A Poem by Jinx
"

Thanks Bill, you really helped me out. Italicized words are a direct quote.

"

---dedicated to Bill Hicks (1961-1994)


You don’t need to worry about your body

because it’s not really there.


You don’t need to go to the bank

because where we’re headed, everything’s free.


You don’t need to avoid traffic

because we’re all going One way.


You don’t need to wave that flag

because we’re all from the same place.


You don’t need to go to Church

because there’s no reason to live in fear.


You should love your neighbor

because you and He are One in the same.


You should be physical with everyone

because your minds are already connected.


You should close your eyes and wake up 

because life is but a dream.


Life has mountain-climbs and skydives

but  you don’t need to worry

 because it’s just a ride.

I think this is a great tribute. It sums up what he stood for in his comedy, and it provides a reminder of the love we should all live with. I thought it was really cool how you used the quote at the end. I think it really tied things together and extended the meaning of the piece.

I really liked the lines, "You don’t need to wave that flag/because we’re all from the same place." What a great commentary on how interconnected people are. It stands to say that there are no barriers in the grand scheme of the ride, so we as people should not create any.

Awesome job man!

Etown in in few weeks...awesome year ahead? Absolutely!
