Unlawful Claim

We make a claim when we are born and cannot even speak or walk, just learned to breath, just learned to reach, Long before we've learned to talk. I don't know how we've come to claim what was borrowed from our mothers and why we've claimed we have a right to take it from our brothers. Perhaps it was confusion or a child's mentality, concluding that we'd breathed it in, our first discovery. But life's not ours to give and take. This is a concept of our flesh. How we view each borrowed day is how we fail or pass this test. One breath was breathed to share with all now billions have awakened. So infants must be taught at last THAT LIFE SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN.
