Bold in defiance...
Puffed with pride...
In clothing sewn
by another's hand...
Nourished with food
harvested by strangers...
He spoke of Strength...
with a vocabulary gathered
from parents and teachers...
And declared himself
to be...    "his own man"
"Dependant upon no one"

Then he angrily drove away...
Down a road he did not lay.

You got that right! We are all interdependent in the end! Well said.

Love,
