Unleashed: Horsepower

I am a small town boy from an old world family, who took on the new world.... ....the world strikes back indiscriminately and hard. Cogs are breaking down but still obediently turning inside factories burning, Fascist acid-reflux bubbling, churning in the stomachs of slaves. I am growing, watching you grow. It's your time now, your time to unleash a voice bottled-up for far too long - break free from the boundaries, please don't remain one of the many chained. The sun in my loins can no longer justify keeping the wild horses caged. They must be freed before becoming fully domesticated - instead, to run free alongside the wind and our voices unleashed. I've been feeding the horses, orphans of the open plains folded into banks and towers scraping scars into the sky. Maybe I was wrong to cage them, but my intentions were good, fearing their demise upon the sharp parts of unfeeling machines. -but my fear dissipates- The moon rising behind your eyes is fearless. Focus this fearlessness to break the bonds holding you back. Plant wild flowers within your soul, jump on, hold on tightly, feel the unadulterated power ripple between your thighs. Wild horses fear not the vipers, trampling venom with thunder. Inside, you are no less wild. Unleash, merge with the beasts, let them carry you through, freeing a voice you've kept caged for far too long.

    This speaks volume, about dimming ones own light. But it ended for me in triumph. "Trampling venom with thunder", I can heard the stampede roaring, due to freedom!
