A Natural FactA Poem by The River Man
Are you in control?
Do you forage for seeds? Perhaps a natural goal, or repressed needs? Fight or flight does not determine wrong or right It only provides uncommon and temporary insight And brings the true question to light Have you gathered for the winter? Of smothered cognition A challenging mission Keep an eye on your hoard of sustenance and ammunition What a nice warm cave To keep you from the grave Wrists and ankles free from the shackles of the slave The concrete, your face shall meet, if you so choose Or perhaps the dirt will be the bed upon which you lose Or maybe it will only be a bruise Just as a tree grows towards the sun The rays you cast attract the outreached hand which you depend upon Now go on Run to the horizon and perform a tight rope act You will find that our terrestrial plane stays intact As should you, so be ready to react © 2012 The River Man |
