Premium Member Freedom is a bird with broken wings in the modern world, trapped in invisible cages of indifference
Freedom is a bird with broken wings in the modern world, trapped in invisible cages of indifference, Reflecting destiny as a silent shadow, the immutable aspects of existence embrace us with cold arms, Death, an artist of limits, carves the boundaries of our lives with the chisel of relentless time, Each human being becomes a prisoner in their...

Premium Member We are born into the abyss of existence, like birds trapped in cages of beginnings
We are born into the abyss of existence, like birds trapped in cages of beginnings, we don't run toward death, but flee from the catastrophe of birth, hiding from truths, survivors who forget their first breath, like a dream lost in the mist of time, in each moment, we strive to forget the primordial cry that shattered our...

Cages We Carry
When I was a kid, I learned survival’s first lesson That protruded from my veins The world divides from the the hunters and the hunted The tiger etches its laws in the shadows Hawks hold the cord of its Prey whos fate is sealed under an unforgiving sun But I never knew a parasite would rise Not even in...

Cages
White picket fence surrounds the perfect house keeping the perfect life inside and intruders out. White collar job surrounds you every day keeping the money coming in and play time out. White crisp clothes surround your body and soul keeping the correct appearance on the outside. White French doors surround the bedroom keeping the perfect wife in her perfect place. Cages come in...

Once, there was a boy who loved animals, every kind of animal, it didn't matter; he loved them all! He had rabbits, pigeons, hamsters, and a raccoon. The boy kept them well-fed, cleaned their cages every day and was sure they were happy; so that made him happy, too. One day, he was watching the news, and saw children taken from their mothers; and placed...

Premium Member The Separation
In my country, gangs of fiends own the night. In my country, we lived broken lives of torment. My family fled with little but our naked terror. Bleeding and blistered, our feet carried us hundreds of miles. But I always had my familia. We migrated in trucks, never sure we could trust coyotes. We roamed scorching desert, never sure we would find...

But why not here? What is the problem? Oh, yes, the Covid 19 is here now. Mothers are locked up with children. Their own children, all tidy and safe. Losing...
