Freedom

It beckons, 

Tantalising in the distance, 

If only this, 

If only that, 

I hear the screams, 

I see the desert in my 

Minds eye, 

What is my worth, 

A pound coin in a pocket,  

A day at the sea, 

I long to see the ocean again

The melancholy is so profound in this concise piece. Well written!
