Free to Die

Death is not free.
You earn it by being alive.
Embrace fiery flames.
Rebel against injustices.
Speak out with passion
and compassion.
Or, leisurely ride the water slide,
watching as those who drown
call out helplessly.
Then, you are free to die.

Hey Joe! I was following a political thought when I wrote this. Take the high road, or the low. Either way, one is free to die at the end. Good tp see you. I'll visit soon! :)
