My sovereign right

There is no bargain with death I see
where death when ready can claim me
there is no contract to which I agree
no time of death's choosing do I concede
my sovereign rights death violates
my free will death does mitigate
under what authority does death reign supreme
when to live forever is my dream?
I’ll wave my sovereign rights in death's face
my personal waiver and reaper's disgrace
when his grim coming calls me away
"No claim have you!" this citizen will say
when death withdraws as he surely will
I’ll have demonstrated my right to live still
all others beholden to the laws of nature
will look in awe at my individual power
more sovereign citizens across the land
will march to their own tune sing to their own band
we will refuse death with our rightful demands
