Freedom Of Life

Assisted dying should be a freedom 
who are you to keep me breathing 
Abortion rights for those who need them 
opposing strangers for no reason 

Opinions of others sometimes offend you 
laws should never be there to defend you 
children should never have choice to choose 
politicians, gender, cigarettes, booze 

Words people use can affect your mood 
but pain is a feeling you cannot remove 
thoughts in your head don’t excuse attitude 
if you are offended just block it from view 

Don’t blame society for the weakness in you 
you are responsible for the things you do 
don’t look to leaders then oppose how they lead us 
polarised views too extreme for a genius 

The freedom to live is the freedom to die 
the freedom to choose isn’t yours to deny 
you cannot interfere with things you don’t like
what others say and do is their God given right
