“Monopoly - Fast Track Equations” Razor sharp cut quite clear He says Trust She says Fear Broken glass and hidden things He says Respect She says Trust Ashes to Ashes Dust to Dust Black Lies and Alibis He says Truth She says Respect Innocence is shattered All the children wept Steel Cages, Monopoly and Chance Cards He says Love She says Lost Flying Monkeys and Kangaroo Courts He says Lost You say, "Here’s the Road Map, I've got the Get Out Free Card" You get behind the wheel Take back your soul Foot to the floor Keep driving fast, not slow Pass “GO”, Do not Look Back. Girlfriend, little sis'ta, you are right on track. (Lovejoy-Burton/March 2018) 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S71_vIMQ0YY

I hate men who hit women, I have worked with those who suffer from domestic violence, I could tell you so many stories, your poem is a up lifting poem for those who you want to encourage to break free and carry on...

Leanne, your compelling poem is vivid, reminiscent and emotional..Sometimes you have to blow up your life in order to rebuild it, from the ground up. 'You get behind the wheel take back your soul foot to the floor keep driving fast, not slow' - Boy, do I know that feeling. A brilliant write that moves me deeply.. Warmest wishes. ~Susan

I am sure there are a number of women out there that are bad ass behind the wheel. I LOVE driving. Fast. Thanks Susan, yep you read like a woman who has full control of the gearstick and foot to floor.
