Cowardice

You lie in peace

As the damnable creature rattles its cage

But why would you ever listen, 

Why would you care to wake?

Dreams are safer than unleashing

The claws that lie in the corner

Why would you care 

To delve into reality,

Return to the friend

You set your demon on daily,

Return to the friend 

That has given up on you,

Return to the mind

That has given up on life?

Truth is,

The demon is loyal to you only.

Author's Note

It's interesting how the mind can dredge up problems in writing that the anchor didn't even know they had.

As the biggest coward known to my corner of society, I endorse this poem. No really I thought it spoke truth, how many are the escapes we choose, but I think that's in part because we realize society is based on collective illusions and myths to the degree that even money, the center of what we call 'reality' is something totally made up by human beings to control each other.

Sorry, I rant. The best lines for me were: 1. Dreams are safer than unleashing
The claws that lie in the corner
