Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

No Place To Hide

there is the running
but there's no hiding
the vultures have us
in their crosshairs

the lucky ones will get away
and crawl in empty nooks
under some random rocks

no pride just shame
their dignity belittled
till rendered null and void

sad little men stripped of their pride
self-respect lost in a ditch
somewhere along the way

hearts racing
for all the wrong reasons
in the rubble of mankind
