the dance of life

The Dance of Life


When a child my freedom
Was restricted by adults
In a world of fear;

As an adult my freedom was
Restricted by the need to
Make a living;

Now as old, my freedom
Is restricted by bad health
And a small pension

Death promises freedom,
But since it lacks
Consciousness it is illusory
