"The Noose"

The innocence of youth
Forgetting in adulthood.
Hope: the long lost truth.
Strive for a common good.
Life is not measure by time,
But the memories we leave
Ingrained in a children's mind.
The greatest gift they'll receive.
Quit working for the dollars.
Work towards a better future.
Untie the noose; it's not a collar.
Debt is not your ultimate ruler.
Breathe and let stress melt away,
And release your inner child
Be carefree for one whole day.
Let your imagination run wild.
All of us will get old and die.
What legacy will be left behind?
A life of looking up at the sky,
Or a slave working the grind?

  1. Valuable social commentary that we, as a modern society, definitely need more of!
