Freedom
Why do we always end up in the place where we began?
Why is it freedom fades away and dies in every land?
I think the problem lies within the reason why we fight,
for it is not to win the war then stand guard day and night

These Things That I Prize
Most people have a lot,
most have a list
of gidgets and gadgets
and trinkets to buy.
It’s just human nature
there’s no harm in this,
but lately
I’m wondering why.
For as I’ve grown older
I have realized
(I’ve had to,
for it is a matter of fact).
While caring for all of
these things that I prize,
everything I own…

Broken wings
Feathers stuck in the cage
Yet melody that soothes
Watching her flying friends
Spreading wings in the sky stage
Giving the luxury life
With food and shelter
No worries of hunt or hunter
Living with the broken wings alive
