Free to Die

Death is not free. You earn it by being alive. Embrace fiery flames. Rebel against injustices. Speak out with passion and compassion. Or, leisurely ride the water slide, watching as those who drown call out helplessly. Then, you are free to die.

Yes quite linda-Alice I am meaning G W here Maybe he will in speedos appear?? And yes We are quite free to die.' In fact goverments And un-healthy corperations are encouraging It..? Gets me thinking about being free to lie.' Dang the ubiquitous and perfidious sin-ous Serpents.' seething, hissing breeding venom in Pharms that (indeed do much harm) so much For their charms.'

Hey Joe! I was following a political thought when I wrote this. Take the high road, or the low. Either way, one is free to die at the end. Good tp see you. I'll visit soon! :)
