Moths

 

Dust laden wings
Hover... 
Drunk on the moonlit sky
Seduced by the warm summer air
They splat off my windscreen 
Do they value their life?
They don\'t seem to care

 

Their lives to most are like mine...
Beyond comprehension 
They live like I drive 
Without due care and attention 

 

Ninety miles per hour 
I race home to my flame
As more splat on my windscreen 
A realisation washes over me
Maybe we\'re quite the same?

 

I am captive 
In society... 

 

Anchored in the open sea

 

They have wings
And the open sky
They can fly...

 

But they are not free
