Chase

poetboy123

Time is catching up with us, every moment we stand by

Like sheep, allowing ourselves to be herded into our pen

All dreams burned and buried, yet none there to cry

Fear our master, controlled by Greed, whose life has no end

 

Obeying the laws of lies and false promises all around

Accepting the injustices, will you refuse to make a sound?

For those who have the match, but no courage to light the flame

Know once it has been kindled, it will never be tamed

Afraid of the ashes and smoke that are sure to rise

Content to sit back and observe the blood as it dries

 

Not willing to begin the story

Not knowing how it may end

Not wishing to anger the sea

For the waves it may send

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." Dr. Seuss

    Thank you so much for this.
    A true pen warrior you are

    Be who you are and say what you feel, those that mind don't matter, those that matter don't mind. Another favourite of mine 😉

      Thanks, Dan!
      One of my favorites is "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." Mark Twain (Got that from DS)

        Now you've done it 😉
        The more I understand about my dog, the less I like people.
