Clauses and rules
regulations and restrictions
go to make up life
fenced and circumscribed
circumvented and stopped
moves our life
comments and criticisms
appreciation and contempt
govern our life
wish and desire
money and expense
control our life
illness and grief
loss and panic
rule our life
fear and a scramble
apprehension and a withdrawal
design our life
we have no say whatsoever
be it a short or long life
we go with the world
pulled by the tide
never see our life
as we wanted it to be
never live our life
as we expected it to be.
