With and Without You

Because we have not a say To what at all cost may We just brace ourselves And choose to embrace the will To accept the will that will. After that long hard life Or different without strife The acceptance of the meaning of freedom Or rejection for never being free The acceptance of what is accepted To be the meaning of being rich Or rejection for ever being poor For acceptance of the other with a different color Or the rejection for the difference We are one with one world One to which we came And which we leave In the temporal condition called life why do we then bind ourselves with the restrictions Of do(s) and don’t(s), likes and dislikes. But rather living with an open mind Accepting the raw and cooked Rejecting only with the sense of preference Preserving the beautiful color of life for our children When finally good morals is a life style. Tomorrow without you will then be birthed, After a perfect today with you.
