    LET ME WALK IN YOUR SHOES

    CAN I WEAR YOUR SHOES?
    WALK IN THEM FOR ONE DAY
    LET ME SEE WHAT YOU SEE
    SO I CAN DO WHAT YOU DO
    LET ME TAKE YOUR PAIN
    SO I CAN SEE WHAT IT IS
    I WANT TO UNDERSTAND
    WHY IT'S SO HARD TO BE A MAN
    CAN I BORROW YOURSHOES?
    SO I CAN FEEL WHAT YOU FEEL
    AND DO WHAT YOU DO
    I'LL GIVE THEM BACK
    LET ME TAKE YOUR PAIN
    ANDSEE IF IT RAINS
    AND POURS LIKE THE TEARS
    RUNNIN DOWN MY FACE
    LET ME SEE IF LIFE IS NOT
    YOUR FRIEND
    LET ME SEE IF GOD AINT
    HOLDIN YOUIN HIS HANDS
    LET ME SEE IF YOU BEEN
    DROPPED FROM HIS PLAN
    SO I CAN UNDERSTAND
    WHY IT'S HARD TO BE A MAN
    LET ME TAKE THAT PAIN
    LET ME SEE IF I CAN MAINTAIN
    AND MAKE THE SUN SHINE
    ONE DAY IN YOUR SHOES
    I'LL GIVE THEM BACK
    CAN I WALK IN YOUR SHOES?

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
