Sanctuary

Coming under siege
I got to find a sanctuary
somewhere safe for my family
somewhere where there is no entry
for a greedy land lady
fear of failing my family
has grown overwhelmingly
how can I put it gently
I’ll be damn
if this person thinks
to impose a threat on me
I’ll be the threat
when I am angry
the stand will be imminent
damage will be permanent
the average person can reflect
after a crucial incident
but we all must be patient
for the good in us all
don’t let anybody make you fall
be stronger than it all

Since we have last four lines attitude or hope, we can live through our lives. We must have patience, stand firmly.
