Freedom In Life

I am a creature of this world, A man of flesh and blood No man owns me or should, I eat, I breath, I live All I need is a roof and some love. Yet my fellow man derides me, denies me Wishes me harm, and watches me drop into the abyss Scared in case I shake his trust in his conservative beliefs. Yet I don't want his job, his wife or his 9 to 5 life. Let the rats race, and the work horn sound Come home to the kids who cry and ask who is that man. Give me the freedom to rule my own life To not have to waste this one chance at life If only the mover and shakers could learn. So just a reminder, live and let live.
