The rules of life
Do not change
Just because you're old
None of us
Are truly free
We, are all locked in
By the society that binds us
If you must fight
Fight with the pen
Let Gandhi be your guide
To that end
If you have a moment
Listen to the poem
'The Child's Been Radicalised'
Recited by fellow poet
Barney Rooney
Of Belfast, Ireland
i've got a 'federal building' for old Kim to occupy! (see comment, below mine) The last latrine on the longest trail in Yellowstone Park! bri :)
What? Just because I'm old I can't have a new set of rules? Where's some federal building I can go occupy?

I would like to translate this poem
A few strangers are more polite to you when you are older: most are not. My only way to protest is with the pen, with an unknown impact on others. I feel about the same amount of freedom now, compared to when I was young.
