Breaking Free

Kurt Philip Behm

Living at maximum RPM,

the world outside surrounds me

Setting traps and digging holes

to slow my motion down

 

I bob and weave, increasing speed,

the pitfalls deep and mighty

Hunted for the threat I pose

—their treadmills overwound

    'the pitfalls deep and mighty
    Hunted for the threat I pose'..
    and that's the very, few
    who dare to acknowledge the power
    contained
    in each fibre, of the freedom they breathe
    with purposed: Intent!
    (if you're not part of the majority, ignorant Herd
    prepare for the wolves
    to track your every move
    for your spark of defiance
    fast translates into their callous joy: of the Hunt)..
    a thought provoking read, dear poet
    so many meaningful observations
    worded eloquently: relatable

    I’m glad it resonated.

    Thanks L. B.
