Uncharted Seas

Uncharted seas
they are sailing in
time and again
along lines of flight
they defy surveillance
and smuggle 
their clandestine dreams
braving
propaganda
indoctrination
derision
oppression
and whatnot
They elude despair
and evade the smear
of the myriad accusations
hailing them
each time they dare
to word their needs
and speak their hearts
infantilism
immaturity
ignorance
irrationality
greediness
disloyalty
lovers of anarchy
and whatnot
Those unseen
whose eyes 
are riveted on
tolerance
equality
justice
equity
and whatnot
they will never 
give themselves up
to that old mantra
once bitten, twice shy
