Escape

Original poem by the author of this blog...

Escape

Remember that tale bout a man on a path
Choosing I believe was first in his mind
Go where I know how the story will end
Or take the dark route overgrown with grass

Stay in my hole enclosed in this trap
In a system so rigid the rules don’t bend
Did what I could inside a corporate wrath
Escaped I did with my soul on the mend

I know why he chose to take the one path
Same reason I found hidden in my head
Remain immobile as life’s sacrificial calf
Or explore this great earth till I’m dead
