Notes About The Poem

Platos Allegory of the Cave

Fear of freedom, blue skies now seem grey 
Phlegmatic pessimism, own hand stays
Whilst cheerful maverick
Fearless to try new tricks
Makes escape to freedom, simple play

Nothing "simple" about this but I sense a bit of playfulness in your execution.
