What to do

To be freed from one’s mind, Walk the woods, behind mankind. Yet another day bleeds into night, If not for the morn, who’d see the light? With no reprieve, I cannot escape, As I stay hidden under death’s cape. Doth the laws we abide keep us in line? Those who speaketh and make this design. Should our faith in them never wane? Shall we overlook this world in pain? As we perish in the way they intend, Handing over our gems for them to spend.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

It is extremely hard to live life by rules others make. We drive as close to the center line as we can. . Hello old friend:) Great to read a poem from you. Hoping you are well and Merry Christmas!
