Solitude.

Fight all we must.
Keep shackles away
Even from the vicinity
Of where our minds may stray.

Counter if you must
Resist what's innate
For what meets the eye
Is just another bait.

Preposterous are these bonds 
For they bind no more than lies
Prudence rests with those
Who let solitude suffice.
