Poetry - The Escape Route

Walking within the deep green foliage, Unaware of the challenges within, Unmindful of the camouflaged cage, Surrounded by the devil's grin Crashing down to the harsh reality, Too naive to follow through, Broken down by the monster's brutality, As his fears never cease to queue Curbed away into barbed wires, With no peaceful place to be, Waiting for hell to start the fires, So that he can break free

Strange thoughts begin to unveil, As the thunder initiates out loud, The light leaves behind a tapered trail, For followers among the crowd As glorious it looks among the dark, Fading away with the early dawn, But leaving abaft that serene spark, Burning with desire to build on As the colours of life begin to merge, And all his emotions start to converge, He's impelled to question the very thought, Of Sins & Secrets his spirit has brought And when he walks through that gate, Leaving behind his summed up fate, Reaching up to make his own destiny, He rises along in mutiny!
