A society lost at sea



Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose...

                                                   (JJ, Me and Bobby McGee)



Freedom is a crazy word.
A motherhood statement.
A battle cry.
An excuse to stay in
The Comfort Zone.

i don't know Janis Joplin's contribution to the world.
But i know she died young.
She suicided at the significant age of 27.
Significant because Alfred,
a street person whom i call "my son",
said so.

Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain,
Also joined the 27 Self-harm Club
That is a mystery.
Uncanny.
Writer of the prophetic
Beautiful Ode to Autumn
Romantic Poet 
John Keats
Passed away coughing blood
From tuberculosis.
Aged 27.
