Fleeing These Halls

In this sweet little pig pen Walls that once were friends And bold shields For lounge room warriors Now barricade Detain indefinitely, denying Beyond them imaginings For ravenous captives With restless longing and fears Choose now the door Indulgence to ruin, or Patience to pride An unforgiving master waits With bitter destinies to navigate Seize propitious offerings Fleeing these halls To uncertain fate Courage now, groomed in isolation Seclusion of rooms No longer resting places.
