Survival

Survival

Apparently
Most of us on earth 
Engage each day
To just survive
For one more day..
Fear and desire dictate
A form of bondage
For most..who must
By wit and courage
Play roles which give
Credence to a reality
Of many things..while
Ignoring each her own 
Veiled Reality..
A heavy price by
Rich or poor..
Apparently Freedom
Awaits for now
Behind the veil...
