Death accepts us all
        Life’s the discriminator
        Move towards the light

Yeah i think what i meant or was trying to say David was death is not our choice it comes to us all regardless. Come to think of it as i am writting neither technically is our birth. Otherwise we could choose to live as long as we want and choose our patents Love it made me think Brilliant love your circle of life belief that way in fact we do live forever just in different forms

Hi Christopher I think I’m speaking metaphorically as in my believe that your dead before your born you live then your dead again, in a perpetual loop, as in life’s choices some people have very limited rights if any at all, hence the choices they do make are discriminatory, but most of the time I agree that we do have choice but it’s corrupted by ignorance and bias cheers David

I think I will go a few more rounds before moving towards the light. A thought provoking write. ;0)

Me too, I hope to stay in the game a bit longer but without life’s tunnel vision so I’ll keep towards the wider light, cheers David

Hi Kim the light is enlightenment rather than life’s prejudice, death just accepts us all.
