What Remains

What Remains
In a man`s life
There are two happy stages
Childhood
Not a teenager be
And old age 
When you have nothing to lose 
King or poor man 
You can afford to treat with equality 
Or contempt 
Yet some fears remain 
People who want to teach me their way
I fear the illiberal amongst us
Racists and warmongers
And those who have forgotten to laugh
