Escapism

Amongst the stars my heart resides The moon is my humble guide Falling into infinite darkness Such is my state of bliss I am a creature of the night Where my soul finds its might Tranquil rivers flow into me Waves of calmness my mood to be When all I can see are outlines Of trees and shrubs of all kinds Such beautiful darkened silhouettes The troubles of the world I forget Of the business of the daytime rush The rulers on top in a fuss The infinite running rat race That keeps our beings set in place But the human soul longs to be free Stuck in cities we cannot see What the natural world has to offer But we trade it all for dollars Well no more shall I be a slave! I shall carve my own grave I choose to die amongst the stars And not working for what's already ours My last wish is that when I die That I may join the twinkling lights in the sky~
