Re: Mabel MacRae Anderson poems
un caged
I’m not afraid to die - death is inevitable,
I’m not afraid to live – life is incredible,
A cage is what I fear, the door locked tight,
Imprisoned by those, who think they have the right,
To impose their morality, prohibit thoughts and deeds,
Shaping a world, to fit specific needs,
I have no respect, nor ear, for their “authority,”
I refuse to waste my time on senseless mediocrity,
I will wake with the dawn, breath in another day,
Spread my wings, take flight, come what may,
Express my thoughts and feelings, open my eyes,
Cherish my loves with glee and wondrous sighs,
Marvel at all I am, all that I wish to be,
Dance with a song in my heart from here to eternity,
Some day I will die – death is inevitable,
But until that day, I’ll live – life is incredible.
