Nothing to Get Mad About – POETRY CHURCH

Go on without me
Sweet child
Earth’s flower
Go on without me
I’ll see you no more

Hold fast to this hillside
Roots deep in the wind
In the distance I’ll perish
Deep in the sand
On the opposite shore

So don’t wait for me
Go on
Go on
It’s time to set out
Your life springs eternal
There is nothing here
To get mad about
If there’s nothing here
If there’s nothing more
Worth fighting
Worth starving
Worth dying for
So go on without me
Sweet child
Earth’s flower
And I’ll be with you again
As I was with you before

About The Author

Matt Beard

Matt Beard is an artist most known for his paintings that portray hundreds of locations across the length of the entire California coastline. He spends weeks at a time alone in his van traveling the state and looking for new vistas upon which to plant his easel. All that time on the road has really messed with his head, and so he’s taken to writing poetry as a way to cope with his increasing anxiety about parking tickets or overnight camping violations.
