We are not a number
Be it test or wage or scale
Ultimately it is only ourselves
That we can choose to fail
They're markings for others
And not indications of our worth
First of which we are given
At our time of birth
When, at last, comes the time
Our final, absolute rest
The second number we are given
At our time of death
We are not a number
Don't take life too fast
Its not about the dates
Its all about the dash
1996-?
