Maze

America- s flag flies high (like the president) overhead (our cost) with colors that don't run.... the race fair with a head start and a Barry bonds shot but the Juggernuats victory is not mine nor yours our victory is lost and found here in the maze.... he drinks shots when he can afford liquor but beer is the closest of his confidants both bubbly and bitter so sad his dear friend encourages solace in others that just don't at least not with him have you ever? drank alone? the roach from next door can't get in and it's raining it's raining hard the drum of aqua droplets crashing from oblivion to surface is deafning/horrifiying/ugly to it's alien form welcome to America little guy

Times are tough, eh? I was born in 1929. Those were tough times too. Some even ate the "roach from next door." Congrats on this selection. Love, daver

Congrats Brian on "Maze" being featured. I have never been held captive in America. I always felt free to leave if I didn't love it. Of course, I never saw a government check, neither unemployment nor public assistance. Finally saw one at age 17 when I "Earned" my first one serving my country. Seems like these days it's freebies and whining. God Bless. Vince

Very interesting, love the comparisons in this one, for, our country can be so judgemental and mean. Whatever happen to love thy sister and brother. I miss the days of old when people stood for something and together they united to make a difference.
