Draw the Lines

Boundaries, some say, aren’t good

Lines cause differences they claim

Free for all is their motto

Right to be in your space is their slogan

.

Is it really so, I wonder

Would you like me to dictate terms

To tell you what to eat, wear, drink, & do

To breathe down your neck

To order you around

.

Of course, it’s my right, isn’t it

When life is free for all

With no boundaries or lines

To limit my interference

To teach me not to rule your life

.

Lines, my dear protesters, are healthy

When you don’t like me in your space

Why would I tolerate you in mine? 

Rules are supposed to be the same

For you, me, and others

No matter which side they belong to

.

Let the lines be drawn 

Stay on your side 

While I live on mine 

Let’s be who we are 

Different, yes; let’s be okay with them 

For, we aren’t robots in a factory
