Quagmire of Life

You come into this world unwanted and All alone Into the Quagmire of life you are thrown You come to this place full of strangers Fraught with fear and so many dangers What gives them the right to decide Who will live and who will die Unfortunately we have no choice in these matters Now lives are shredded and in tatters Whatever happened to all our wise sages What are we now back in the dark ages Half a century of precedent going down the drain Are all the judges going insane Who am I to decide? Now we are totally cut off and have no voice Whatever happened to our free choice Now we are forced to cheat steal and lie Why is it necessary my life needs an alibi Half a century of precedent going down the drain Are all the judges going insane Who are we to decide You come into the world unwanted and alone Into the quagmire of life you are thrown You come to this place full of strangers Fraught with fear and so very many dangers What gives them a right to decide Who will live and who will die
