Some of a religious nature
Ask themselves:
What would Jesus Do?
A touching sentiment
But as an atheist
And an ageing punk rocker
I ask myself:
What Would Henry Rollins Do?
The singer of Black Flag and Rollins Band
Whose words inspire so deeply
We he screams with intensity
“Get some, get some, go again”
And somehow conveys the feeling
That we should all go down swinging
And bring a sharp will to every situation
His words feel so right so often
That this totem of modern manhood
Is the spirit guide I need
When reputation in here is everything
And when I write
Another guide towards
The best kind of thinking:
What Would Hemingway Do?
Who lived with such courage
And taught us how to love
Like a truly strong man
If I can say at the end
That I held true
To the values of these great men
I can go to my grave knowing
I gave it everything I had
