This is about freedom.


YOU have the right
to stand up and fight,
YOU have the right to be strong,
you have the right
to flaunt out your might,
and to scream out that
'everyone's wrong.'

You have the right to
limit your sight,
and only see what you like,
you have the right
to be high as a kite,
or to view life only as
'black or white.'

You have the right
to laugh with delight,
or live without smiles,(always glum.)
You have the right
to walk in the night
and wear what the world
thinks looks 'Dumb'.
You have the right
to pierce all your body,
to dress really shoddy,
to tattoo both cheeks of your 'bum.'
You have the right
to share wisdom's light,
or not share one single crumb.

You have the right
to speak of your plight,
or not speak about it at all.
You have the right
to be wrong ,it's alright!
(No hiding behind your big wall.)

You have the right
to NOT be polite,
to blunder each day every year
to sow, reap and grow,
to always say 'NO'
AND SAY WHAT YOU THINK,WITHOUT FEAR.

You have the right to give to the needy
or to be a little more than greedy.

you have the right to give up on life
or to reach out to someone for help,
You have the right
to lean hard on drugs,
or only to lean on YOURSELF!.

You have the right
to love who you are,
you have the right
to reach for that star,
you have the right
to hope and to dream,
and you have the right
to stand up and scream.

You have the right to ask 'why?'
to choose how to live,or how to die...
you have the right.
Choose wisely.....or...don't.
Right?

Yes! It does come down to choices made from all our "rights." Love and best wishes,

Extraterrorestrial Beings v4 by RickthePoetWarrior

Our heroes are revealed for all they are, the final flash of a dying star, for with this pen I do they mar, with hopes I leave ‘em all a scar.
